Hello!

I was wondering if anybody had gotten one of the *BSD variants to work
with the Ultrastore 24F.  And, if so, how?  I'm working on pulling down 
both NetBSD and FreeBSD to test out -- I've tried Linux (primarily because
everybody I know uses it (that east coast thing? <grin>)) but it has some 
serious driver bugs with it's support of the 24F (it's an EISA SCSI card,
BTW).  

Note that I don't really care which Unix I install on my machine -- only 
that it's stable enough for work.  I've wasted ALOT of time trying to get
Linux to work and would like to avoid that (if possible!) as I hack through
the *BSD installations.

I really appreciate any help you can provide!

Thanks,
DCL
