Hopefully I can find some that are Ultra 2 SCSI, but that doesn't really matter.. If one integrated Adaptec card works under Fbsd, then most should I guess.. Someone told me the opposite a while ago though.. The reason for all the processor power isn't know to me right now, I just had someone ask me to get prices on the machine and to make sure it would function with FreeBSD.. That sure is a hell of a lot eh' :-) With these U2-SCSI Drives he wants, the RAM and everything, it's going to be a huge machine.. Nice and expensive too.
