Hello, While shopping for another 3Ware card, I found that this market has gotten much larger since I bought my 6500. So I started looking at the various cards while browsing the hardware notes for FreeBSD 4.8 and 5.1. So I'm wondering if anyone can provide some insight here. -3Ware has a whole new series of cards. The twe(4) manpage states that only 5xxx and 6xxx series cards are supported, but these are very hard to come by. Is the manpage out of date, or are the newer 7xxx and 8xxx series cards now supported as well? -Adaptec has a cheap raid card, the 1200A. No mention of it in the hardware notes. Is it possibly supported by the asr driver? -AMI has an "i4" card (series 511) which is not listed on the hardware list. Might the amr driver support it? Any other new stuff that I may have missed? All of these are sub-$300 cards. Just looking for people who may have tried some of these cards; sometimes the docs lag behind reality. Thanks, Charles -- Charles Sprickman spork@inch.com
