   Just so people know, the reason in this case is #5 above. Mylex has in
fact been very interested in doing whatever they can to support the
development of a FreeBSD device driver for their Flashpoint products
(including providing the hardware). The problem is that noone has yet had
the time to write a device driver for them. It's something that will happen
eventually - hopefully before the end of the year.
