[-- Attachment #1 --] If I'm not mistaken, BOTH. 4.1.1 is just a newer release of 4.1. The most talked about change is the removal of rsaref (RSA) dependancies. You can read the changes in the RELNOTES.TXT at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.1.1.-RELEASE/ for more info on other changes since the 4.1 release. There's also the 4.1 directory if you need to back up a little. 3.x is available too, though I'm not sure of it's support for that chipset. Do some reading and decide what's best for you. -Otter -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Patrick.PChome Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2000 4:14 AM To: Otter; questions@FreeBSD.ORG Cc: ACCC-Lilian Chen; billl@ablecom.com.tw Subject: Re: Asking Hardware Compatibility Dear sir, Thanks for your quickly reply. I have another question. I intend to use SuperMicro's motherboard that had integrated with Adaptec's AIC-7892 SCSI Controller, But SuperMicro's engineer told me that their motherboards didn't support FreeBSD because of Adaptec AIC-7892/AIC-7899 SCSI Controller. Could you tell me which's version will support this SCSI controller? Is it V4.1 or V4.1.1? I am wondering. Any help will be appreciated.
