I recently saw a message stating that the Promise EIDE card is not supported. However, tried it in various combinations (I did so before I even saw the above message) and the only way I was able to get it to work at all was as a secondary IDE controller with the BIOS turned off (Though the message I mentioned says that this is not possible.) It gets properly probed as wdc1 and my 124M drive (That's why I don't care about not having the BIOS) is setup as wd3 (It's missing it's jumpers so it thinks it's a slave.) The one that I have is the Promise EIDE/Max Ultra blahblahblah. It's ISA though and not PCI. Give it a try. Who knows. :) On Mon, 22 Jun 1998, Alex Kwan wrote: > Dear FreeBSD Fans, > > > Does the PROMISE Ultra ATA/EDIR Accelerator Card > (for Ultra DMA Hard Disk, PCI Bus) > supported by FreeBSD 2.2.6 and/or 3.0 Current? > > > Best regards, > Alex > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -===================================================================- Jeremy Shaffner JORSM Internet Senior Technical Support Northwest Indiana's Premium jer@jorsm.com Internet Service Provider support@jorsm.com http://www.jorsm.com -===================================================================- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
