Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.2 on a Gateway Pentium II which has these new Ultra DMA cards, which sit between the IDE drive and the PCI Bus. I've got the machine up and running fine by just pulling out the Ultra card and plugging the disk straight into the IDE controller on the motherboard. But does anyone know if there is current or planned driver for the Ultra DMA interface under FreeBSD. (BAsically this would give a significant speed increase) Steve Hearn Exploration Geophysics Lab University of Queensland steveh@digicon-brs.com.au
