The 3940AUW cards are based on a single aic7895 chipset instead of a DEC bridge chip and two 7880P chipsets. They happen to have a few nice features and more on chip SCB RAM, so I generally would prefer the AUW models. This is, of course, exactly the opposite of a 2940AU card, which is less of a card so to speak than a regular 2940UW card is. > Thanks in advance if anyone can give me some info... :) > > Vincent > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message -- Doug Ledford Opinions expressed are my own, but they should be everybody's.
