Will the BT-950 work with FreeBSD 2.2.7-stable and/or > FreeBSD 3.0-release? The BT-950 will not work with ANY release of FreeBSD. It is a BusLogic Flashpoint controller. The BT-956 is a Multimaster adapter, and should work. The Flashpoint controllers may be supported at some point, but that support will only be on the 3.0 branch, and not in the 2.2.x branch.
