Actually, the DAC960LB is the little widget that you plug into the battery-backup connector on a number of different Mylex controllers. > In the listing-archive there are several rather old docs concerning this > controller, but what is the actual position? Not actually knowing which controller you have, or whether you've configured it, it's hard to know what problem you actually have. My initial guess would be that you haven't yet actually built an array with the Mylex setup utility, and thus there are, indeed, no drives. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
