Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2001 22:48:08 -0800 From: David Reeder Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello-- I'm installing the PAO patches in order to setup a pccard for SCSI so I can, in turn, attach a SCSI CD-RW device. I'm running 3.2 and I notice that driver for Adaptec SlimSCSI APA-1460 (aic0) doesn't show up until the PAO package for FreeBSD 3.4 (PAO3-20000130.tar.gz). My question is: Do I have to upgrade to 3.4 in order to get at aic0, or could I pull aic0 back into 3.2 with reasonable effort? See below also -- a previous question to freebsd-questions. Thanks, david # # # # To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Advice on SCSI CD-RW via PCMCIA under FreeBSD 3.2 Hello-- I'd like to attach a SCSI CD-RW device to my laptop. Seems like a good approach is to attach it via a PCMCIA SCSI card and control it via Joerg Schilling's cdrecord. For hardware I'm considering the Adaptec SlimSCSI APA-1460 and the Yamaha CRW-8424-SXZ. Only limitiation is that it must work under FreeBSD 3.2 for now (though I intend to upgrade to 4.* eventually). At minimum, I believe this means I need to install the PAO patches. Can anyone attest to the sanity of this setup or provide configuration advice? Suggestions wrt other pc-card and/or CD-RW vendors also welcome. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
