--openmail-part-047a6bd5-00000001 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name="BDY.TXT" Content-Disposition: inline; filename="BDY.TXT" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, as a first posting to this list, my apologies if this topic has been aired before, or I'm posting inappropriately. I'm in the process of upgrading one of my existing systems, in order that I can run FreeBSD. Although the system will be IDE based for the most part, I recognise that I'll need SCSI support for a tape drive (yet to be decided) and my Zip drive etc. I currently have an Adaptec 1515 which I'd like to use, but frankly I'm not clear if this device is fully supported. From what I can gather, it may work under FreeBSD 2.2.x, but probably won't under FreeBSD 3.x. In view of the above, I'd appreciate a little guidance here. Is the Adaptec 1515 a supported device and if so, under which releases of FreeBSD (bearing in mind that I'd like to go straight to FeeeBSD 3.1, if possible). As I suspect that support may an issue, I'm happy to go for an alternative low/medium cost device, and the Adaptec 2904 would seem to fit the bill, especially as it seems to be based on the 2940 chipset, which does appear to be fully supported under FreeBSD. Of course, it also is faster than my ageing 1515 and is PCI, all plus points. I have tried to search the mailing list archives at FreeBSD.org, but I keep getting advised that either the archives that I want to search aren't available, or that messages can't be retrieved. As I need to sort-out my hardware issues sooner rather than later, any assistance that anyone could offer to a FreeBSD newbie would be greatly appreciated.
