I think it's been an EXB-85XX however. I've also got some patches for it sitting for a review. Re: your crashes: i think Justin's recent ahc driver fixes might help you. It's _not_ normal that you end up with a directory containing silly device nodes instead of regular files, this is causes by something stomping across your disk in a very rude way (and i've only seen it on the ahc driver, until my boss finally bought me a second AHA2940 for tape & cdrom). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
