Well, at least that is They're the ones that sound like Insinkerators digesting a spoon when they start up? If so, they're quick alright 8) > fast ESDI part.

No matter how many cylinders I specify in the BIOS, Sounds like the controller's not playing the game. > Comments, anyone? Well, I have a spare ACB-2320D here you could have, and then you can pull the memory off the controller and put it in your system 8) Seriously; I think you'd be better off getting a different controller. I strongly suspect that the DPT is sufficiently incompatible that it's not going to work with FreeBSD. > William T.
