I've been offered either of two boxes, a HP LH or possibly a DEC Prioris. It's likely the HP will be my boss' choice. Both have OEM versions of the Mylex RAID controller. Needless to say FreeBSD doesn't see the Mylex on either of these boxes, just the embedded AIC 7770 (I think) on the HP. Either of these machines would be a nice upgrade from my existing 486 DX33 except for the problem with the Mylex. 8-( Is there any work in progress on the Mylex controller or should I try for an Adaptec 3940UW? I seem to remember Seppo Kallio doing something with RAID some time ago, but I don't remember the details - Seppo??? _-_|\ Terry Dwyer E-Mail: tdwyer@netbsd08.dn.itg.telecom.com.au / \ System Administrator Phone: +61 9 491 5161 Fax: +61 9 221 2631 *_.^\_/ Telecom Australia Telstra Corporation MIME capable mailer v Perth WA ( I do not speak for Telstra or Telecom )
