Pete followed up this message with private mail indicating that he had found how to tell Vinum, and he now has it running. This can happen with other controllers; the code in question should go away with DEVFS. In general, if you have an unusual controller and you have trouble with it, let me know. It's a trivial thing to add. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients. If you don't, I may ignore the reply.
