Just thought I should let anyone interested know that my problem with the 29160N stems from the cabling & the terminator, which I've stated below, but there actually wasn't anything wrong with the cable or the active terminator; it just was the wrong type of cable and terminator. Apparently an lvd cable & active terminator isn't enough for ultra 160, you need special ultra 160 lvd cable & active terminator... If anyone's interested. So my problem with the card detecting the drive's capabilities at boot is solved; now I've got another "problem": Why does the driver report 80Mb/sec when the card reports 160Mb/sec at boot? Best regards Peter K I wrote: > Hmmm.... I wasn't thorough enough when i said that there is no support in the driver; there /is/ support for all ultra 160 adapters from adaptec as someone on this list pointed out (thanks!). %-6 > And the hardware works just fine, except the cable or the active terminator. So go ahead and buy it, just be sure to double-check the cabling and the terminator. :-) > > However there's still one questions remaining: What is the sequencer code for (what does it do?)? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Get your free email from AltaVista at http://altavista.iname.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
