He wants to install it to a micropolis 150 Meg SCSI drive which is being run from a controller using the Future Domain TMC950 chip. To all intents and purposes it is a Future Domain controller. Obviously the NetBSD 0.9 install disks do not recognise his controller as its not an Adaptatec. The question is is it possible to install NetBSD using this controller at all. Neither of us has enough knowledge to write our own driver for the card. Is there a driver out ther for the controller or type of controller. If so we could mount the SCSI drive from my IDE drive with NetBSD already installed and install from there or something I'm not sure on the matter Suggestions/help would be extremely useful on this one .. Thanx in advance Jake greenland
