You can't have been looking very hard; all of the major vendors have U2W/ LVD controllers and have for many months. In addition you can use most of Mylex and AMI's U2W/LVD PCI:SCSI controllers with -current, and I've just backported the Mylex driver to -stable as well. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the messagehelp
