People laugh at me for recommending this; "they're so BIG and HEAVY", but when I slap a CD in and blast them out of the room, or suck stuff off one to save the day, well, who's laughing THEN? 8) > As an aside, I can't get it to allocate a driver.

Talk about a rectal irritation. Also, you will need the PAO patches to the aic driver (at least) to get this working under mainstream FreeBSD. Let me know if you need help with this. mike
