Currently we're using three of them in two SMP-boxes running -current and one uni-processor box running 2.2-stable. No problems with FreeBSD; as far as I now the 876 just implements two 875s on one chip. And as such they're probed: >> ncr0: <ncr 53c875 fast20 wide scsi> rev 0x14 int a irq 17 on pci0.9.0 >> ncr0: waiting for scsi devices to settle >> scbus0 at ncr0 bus 0 [...] >> ncr1: <ncr 53c875 fast20 wide scsi> rev 0x14 int b irq 10 on pci0.9.1 >> ncr1: waiting for scsi devices to settle >> scbus1 at ncr1 bus 0 One of the current boxes has to run Win NT 4.0 from time to time, ... and guess what? ... NT doen't recognize the second channel, despite of the freshest driver from Symbios Logic's support-site. (BTW, ... Win95 (urrrgh, an SMP scsi-dual-channel system under '95 ) used the second channel without a hitch ...)
