Until now, I didn't know that the Enterprise 1500 wasn't supported, and I was looking at getting one. I even read the README included with the drive, and there was no mention of supported/unsupported cards. However, now I know that certain firmware versions are supported, but not what firmware versions each card supports. AMI does not list that kind of info in the product specs either. > -- > \\ 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 Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
