I'd prefer not to, cos I really like the little thing :) A driver for the amd chips is an unadvertised feature of FreeBSD 3.3. There was no driver for the AMD 53c974 in FreeBSD 3.0-3.2. It is unadvertised, because it still needs some work in the error recovery department. > Does one *have* to use CAM SCSI with FreeBSD 3.x or are the old > drivers still available? You either use CAM with 3.x, or stick with 2.2.x. The old SCSI subsystem is gone.
