Hello, I can say that this kind of Adaptec works _for sure_. At least of late December, when 2.1 was out, I took part in the installation of FreeBSD on an Intel (Deskside?) machine (Pentium with this Adaptec onboard) and it worked fine. I think that maybe playing with Adaptec BIOS settings will do the trick? # Adaptec Settings: # Host Adapter Interface Mode: Enhanced Mode # Standard Mode Resource Selection: # I/O Port Definition: Disabled (Enhanced Mode) # DMA Channel Definition: Disabled (Enhanced Mode) Opinions on enabling this last two? # Advanced Enhanced Mode BIOS Options # Extended BIOS Translation: Disabled # Support for more than 2 drives: Enabled # Immediate Return on Seeks: Enabled # # SCSI Device Configuration: # Error if Device Not Found: no Or tweak this ^^^ ? # BIOS Support Option: hd (no on device 7) # Send Start Command: no OR THIS?! ^^^ # Enable Parity Check: yes # Initiate Synch Negotiation: yes # Enable Disconnection: yes Or maybe this ^^^ ? -- With best regards -- Andrew Stesin. +380 (44) 2760188 +380 (44) 2713457 +380 (44) 2713560 "You may delegate authority, but not responsibility."
