For that matter, what is the difference between the 29160N and the 19160? I remember seeing both of those cards on Adaptec's site awhile back and I still can't figure out what the difference is between them other than the 29160N mentioning support for Unix as well as Windows. FYI, I have a 19160 in my PC and it runs like a champ. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
