For FreeBSD it works perfectly with the ZT bios. All 4 IDE controllers are accessible, so you can have up to 8 devices in the machine. DMA100 features on IDE3 and IDE4 seem to work fine. This board is a bit sucky for certain games though. Specifically DiabloII with the latest patch does not work at all on this board, so you can't play on battlenet. I've also had problems with a Soundblaster Live and this board. This was apparantly related to Southbridge incompatibility with some features of the SBLive. Latest drivers fix this in windows, but in FreeBSD I still get crackly sound. > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp hmmmm. -- Wayne Pascoe Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. - Yeats To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
