As SubSolar wrote: > Hello, I was wondering if there was a FreeBSD driver for the Adaptec > AHA-2920 PCI SCSI controller. No, it's not, and there's most likely nobody working on it right now. Btw., these controllers are actually ``Future Domain'' controllers, and part of the story why there's still nobody writing a driver is that they are, despite of their promising name (in resemblance of the fairly good 2940/3940 series), basically poor hardware. They are PIO only controllers, so you'll suffer from the same problems as with using an IDE disk. If you're looking for a cheap _and_ good SCSI controller, stick with the SymBios ones (formerly NCR). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
