So... To the point: is SlimSCSI supported on a bare-bones -current?
Unless I missed a message in -current, no. Mr. Batie (Alan?) was
supposedly working on the port, but he had some sort of excuse like
buying a house and otherwise leading a normal life. (-:
Is there any problems with it (too slow, whatever)?
I have my laptop running pre-CAM, and the SlimSCSI works fine there.
You gotta remember not to eject the card while FreeBSD is up, however.
Are there alternatives?
Mike Smith was recommending the Jaz Traveller parallel-to-SCSI adapter,
but I am really suspicious about the throughput such a device gets.
ParaSCSI under DOS gets really rotten throughput, IMHO.
Who makes SlimSCSI? (it might be a little bit difficult for me to
find it around here...)
Adaptec. Be careful, though -- they have introduced a CardBus
SCSI card as well, and I doubt it would be elbitapmoc (that is,
backwards-compatible).
