If you're getting Non-maskable interrupts from using your SCSI controller, something is very much not right with your motherboard. Have you tried calling Gateway and asking them how to set everything for "normal" operation? It is conceivable that you have a bad controller or motherboard if you still have NMI problems with everything in default configurations. The BusLogic cards should all work with *BSD just fine in all their default configurations (interrupt 11 is most common). I don't use FreeBSD, but I know many people are using BusLogic cards with no problems under FreeBSD. And my BusLogic bt747s is working great under NetBSD-current. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael L.
