FWIW, on older Compaqs this deactivation was achieved by disconnecting the small power cable going from the power supply to this piece of intelligence at the back of the drive bays. It could be quite possible that Compaq did something bad with the circuitry around the Symbios chip, they like to change everything and then write their own drivers. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
