I have a newer Prosignia 300 server here (P166) and it have been running 3.1R,3.1S,3.2R and now 3.2S just fine now for a couple of months.

Same here, and only PCI and EISA slots - no ISA at all (not that I want any!).. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
