DAC960 IIRC the KZPAC is the Ultra capable one. KZPSC are earlier Fast SCSI based ones. The KZPSCs have hardware revs that are not high enough to run the latest firmware, I think they can only run 2.xx firmware where Mylex last had 4.xx The 4.xx has a different programming interface. > Also, if you can deal with the horror, I'd love to know if you can get > the programming details for the EISA controller(s); with the AS2100 here > and the very easy access to these controllers on eg. eBay, I get several > enquiries a month from people that want to use them, but Mylex appear to > have discarded the documentation that I need to make this work. 8( Mylex flatly refused to give this docs out when I tried.. -- Wilko Bulte Arnhem, The Netherlands http://www.tcja.nl The FreeBSD Project: http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
