Right now we are running 2.1.5 as the news server and will do an upgrade to 2.2 after the bugs are ironed out... One thing I dont get is why the FAQ (http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ45.html#45) lists the Ultra Wide as being supported, when I find no mention of it in LINT in either 2.1.6 or 2.1.5... PCI Generic NCR 53C81x based controllers <PCI> NCR 53C82x based controllers <PCI> NCR 53C860/75 based controllers <PCI> I am leaning toward getting the higher end controller since we might actually be able to afford higher class drives one day :-)... However, if it will only work with 2.2, then I am not sure if I should take a chance on it just yet. ---Mike
