But, I've heard of several people successfully using the bt946c with NetBSD and FreeBSD, using the standard bt742a driver that works with virtually all the BusLogic cards. There is also a beta driver for the NCR810 under NetBSD that supposedly works quite well. I don't know if FreeBSD has this driver. I can't tell you anything about Linux and PCI. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Michael L.
