(In fact, I'm ordering two more from mcglen.com in the next day or so) Their cousins also bailed me out when Adaptec drivers were not able to handle NNTP traffic on a pair of CCDs. We were using a pair of 9GB drives on one CCD and a few 4GB drives on another. The CCDs were split across the cards. Added async IO when the system proved itself stable, and I was just amazed at the throughput. FreeBSD's Adaptec drivers are much better now, but I've never gone back... - Jy@ On Sun, 12 Dec 1999, Gary D. Margiotta wrote: > Am about to purchase 2 u2w controllers for a box...
