PLEASE HELP. URGENT. PLEASE HELP. URGENT. PLEASE HELP. URGENT. Hi folks, first i want to thank the developers of FreeBSD for all their really good work on FreeBSD. I'm running FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 now for a long time and never had problems with it (except some little; maybe not worth to mention: starting two processes writing to the same directory on a mounted dos-partition results in crosslinked files or directories. Will this be fixed in FBSD-2.1 ?) I want to upgrade to FreeBSD-2.1 when it is released and i have some questions about it's capabilities: -Does FreeBSD support PCI ? -Does FreeBSD support Plug&Play ? -Does FreeBSD support SCSI-harddisks of sizes greater 1 GB ? -Does FreeBSD support partition-mounting of Win95 partitions with the extended attributes ? -Does FreeBSD support ZIP-drives and which device is to be used with this drives ? Any help would be highly appreciated. Please email to: moos@fmi.uni-passau.de ---------------- Many thanks in advance for all your help, bye, Darius.
