Nope, it's a completely different card altogether, though Adaptec is replacing the 1xxx series with the 2xxx series. >I know the 1742 is supported, does this mean the 2742 is >also supported ? The 2xxx series of cards are completely different, and Adaptec is not very forthcoming about programming information on these cards. However, there is work in progress on getting these cards work in FreeBSD 2.0, but the driver may not make it in by the deadline. >Assuming the 2842 isn't supported, will it work when I >configure FreeBSD for using a 1542 or 1742 ? Nope, see above.
