Everything looks good during the install except for the SCSI cards, which are Adaptec 2920s. These are currently connected to tape drives and hard drives, SCSI levels 1 and 2. I've scanned the mailing list archives and the source code; I found that A) the 2920s are actually old Future Domain cards that Adaptec repackaged; B) there is no driver for the 2920 cards; C) we're not the first folks to get bit by this. My primary question is, did I miss anything? Is there a way to get 3.1R to recognize the 2920s (short of writing a new driver, that is)? Assuming the 2920s are not useable with FreeBSD, does anyone have recommendations as to good cards to get? In particular, how 'bout the 2940 series? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick Owens | FVCC, Kalispell, MT, USA, Sol 3 #include "Don't become a stranger to Humility, for the Universe has many ways of reacquainting you with it." --Rick Owens -------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
