Both cards can be set to INT A, since the interupts are unique for each PCI slot. : How do I work the BIOS? You can only boot off one controller, and the BIOS seems to take the first here. : How do I work FreeBSD, or does it auto-create ncr1. Sure does.. all just works great. If you have a motherboard with a SiS chipset (like the ASUS SP3) you might wanna disable the PCI burst mode options otherwise you may have problems. Another thing with the ASUS motherboards is to set the PCI latency to 32. Heres a extract from my boot messages...
