You can expect that the NCR 53c810 and '875 should be supported; if the board has a BIOS just rip it out (eg. ASUS SC875, Diamond Fireport). You'll also be OK with at least some boards with the Qlogic chips on then, I expect the isp1010, 1020 and 1040 would be OK. The NCR's are definitely the easiest to get. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
