Hi, Compaqs run fine with fBSD and fast also. At home I have an old 386/25i, put a 2GB EIDE hardisk in it and an 8speed CDROM, dedicated to run as ISDN-router with bisdn and 3.0-970209-SNAP. The last thing I tried was to install on a ProLiant 2500 with two RAID1 disksets. Compaq uses SymbiosLogic (former NCR) 53C875 controlers for internal SCSI Fast Wide and also for their Smart Array Controler. The internal disks can be used, the array controler is recognized (cause of the chip), but no access to the disks is possible when they are configured as a RAID. Any Idea how to make work a Smart Array Controler with RAIDs? Network is a Netflex, which is recognized also, but I didn't try to configure a driver for it. It must be a different hardware than in the Deskpro 6000, in which I couldn't make work the network-if at all. Even the PD-drives are working with the od-driver, but use of cdrom in these are not further possible (these drives are for optical and cdrom, using LUN0 and LUN1 of the same SCSI-ID). Any experiences with fBSD on Compaq-hardware appreciated! Bye, Alex
