Any experiences or attempts to > use this critter? Hmm, perhaps it's similar to the 2910B??? The 2910B will work under FreeBSD; it is a 7850-based controller that doesn't come with a BIOS, but with a DOS-based tool for setting the serial EEPROM. If the 2902 is similarly based on the 78xx chipsets, it should work, but perhaps a few quick hacks to add new PCI device IDs to sys/pci/aic7870.c. Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.InterWorks.org
