Gibbs" cc: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: Embedded SCSI controller on HP netserver LC In-Reply-To: <199603070418.UAA24271@freefall.freebsd.org> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Justin, thanks for the quick answer. In terms of performance, do you have any idea how the aic7770 compares to the aic7870. This box will probably run a (relatively) small newsfeed, lightly used web & ftp server, X, (it's my workstation), and provide a real ftp client for the DOS users whose ws-ftp and netscape ftp sessions fall over under windoze all the time. 8-) On Wed, 6 Mar 1996, Justin T.
