All of the Pentium MBs I've used (about 8 all together) have had AWARD bios and they all have run FreeBSD, at one time or another. > > BTW, I'll be using SCSI only, using Tyan's own NCR based SCSI controller > (cheap). Several of my systems are using the ASUS SC200 SCSI adapters that are NCR 53C810 based. Seem to work fine. A have a few Adaptec 2940's as well that also work fine, though the NCR driver is friendler to my Exabyte EXB-8200 tape drives (doesn't complain about being busy during long operations like rewinds). -- Bob Willcox bob@luke.pmr.com Austin, TX
