Extract from the excellent FreeBSD FAQ (/usr/src/contrib/FAQ/FreeBSD.FAQ: ------------------------------------------------------------ 2.5: Does FreeBSD support the AHA-2742 SCSI adapter from Adaptec? No, FreeBSD does not. This is due to Adaptec's unwillingness to supply programming information under other than non-disclosure. This is unfortunate, but there's nothing we can do about it. ------------------------------------------------------------ We should even modify the 2742 value to the more generic if harder to read 2[789]4[02] one :-) -- Ollivier ROBERT roberto@hsc.fr.net Hervé Schauer Consultants Ollivier.Robert@keltia.frmug.fr.net PERL / MIME / PGP 2.6ui FreeBSD keltia 1.1.0(Current) CURRENT_092#0 i386
