Works beautifully. The driver for it is already in the GENERIC kernel (ncr0). Just plug the card in, attach some devices, and away you go. By the way, what is the in-BIOS setup on that Diamond card like? The one in this Tekram is rather nice, since it lets me tweak quite a few settings on both a card and per-device basis. Apparently the generic Symbios BIOSes do not do this. --- Chris Dillon --- cdillon@tri-lakes.net --- Powered by FreeBSD, the best operating system on the planet for Intel x86 based computers. ---- (http://www.freebsd.org)
