Help!! Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Christian said: >The system is a cyrix 486dx66 with an adaptec 1542/1540 ? controller Once Upon A Time I had an Adaptec 1540, not A, not B, not C, but one that said "1540 (space, space, space) REV. ___" with a sticker conataining the letter "B". It was not a 1540B, but the original 1540 with a touchup on the PCB artwork. And it didn't work with FreeBSD or Linux, but worked fine from DOS. Last week I picked up a beautiful 1542CF and it works great. -- David Kelly N4HHE, n4hhe@amsat.org, dkelly@iquest.com ============================================================= The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
