I think I remember Mike (msmith@freebsd.org) mentioning that 2.x firmware on the Mylex is not a lot of fun. Forgot any details though. I once checked with Mylex and found out you need a specific minimum hardware rev before you can go to 3.x firmware. If that is only the second flash rom I don't know. I have given up on the DAC960s I had and sold them ;) W/ -- | / o / /_ _ email: wilko@FreeBSD.org |/|/ / / /( (_) Bulte Arnhem, The Netherlands To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
