To get parity, you will need either a Triton II or a Neptune board (the Triton II is the newer chipset). Does anybody have a Triton II (82430HX) board working with FreeBSD? I seem to remember some problem with it, but that it may have been fixed a couple of weeks ago? Also if anyone has a list of boards in general that support parity or (egad!) ECC, it might be nice to post it here. I have a problem with making servers that have no provision for detecting even simple single bit errors. ====================================== When philosophy conflicts with reality, choose reality.
