--X1bOJ3K7DJ5YkBrT Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Correct me if I'm wrong, but PCI is PCI is PCI. If I go to my local computer store or favorite online reseller and buy the latest and greatest 64-bit PCI Adaptec SCSI card (and probably some nice hard drives to go with it), I can install that in my Alpha (Alpha Server 5305) and it will work, right? I mean, Naturally, FreeBSD would have to have drivers for it (but it does, so that's a non-issue), but electrically, the bus is the same in an Alpha as it is in a PC or some other architecture, right? Afterall, they're both PCI..... Kevin "Books aren't written to be believed in, but to be questioned." -- Umberto Eco --- This message was signed by GnuPG.
