(it's an Adaptec AVA-1502e.) I see that the Adaptec AVA-1505 *is* supported. Is there any plan to support the 1502e? Are they essentially the same? If not, can anyone recommend a low-budget scsi adapter that is supported? I really need my zip drive to work with FreeBSD so I can backup and upgrade to 2.1.7. Ken Marsh
