Merry" Subject: Re: Using a DTC 3181x SCSI card under FBSD. References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a friend who has a DTC 3270VL (VLB SCSI controller) on his 486... we couldn't get it to run under FreeBSD (not sure what chipset it uses but the box claims it is an Adaptec one -- i'm going to look into it further). He is running Win 3.1 on it right now, but would love to run FreeBSD on the machine without having to buy a new SCSI card.
