People, have you ever heard of a FAQ??? Net etiquette says read the

No, there is not.

No, nobody is.

Yes. Plus, you will have to send them large amounts of money and
promise not to let anyone else see the source code. Even then they
probably won't let you have it.
Buy a BusLogic card. Don't send money to Adaptec.
*BSD FAQ is on ftp.iastate.edu in /pub/netbsd/FAQ/.
FreeBSD FAQ is on freebsd.cdrom.com somewhere...
