The 53c700 wasn't really usable for a 680x0 architecture machine (and had some other serious problems for us). We used the 53c710 in the A4000T (A4000 tower) and A4091 Zorro-III card. Are there docs on the differences, or at least on-line or available docs on the 53c8xx chips? Weren't the x810's 710's with built-in PCI bus support? -- Randell Jesup, Worldgate Communications, ex-Scala, ex-Amiga OS team ('88-94) rjesup@wgate.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
