Second that, my early Pentium PCI and NCR5c825
have worked flawlessly with FreeBSD 2.0R
since Janurary. Few minor problems with DOS/Winodows
and CDROMs but they are also fixed. Symbios
has well organised and up to date ftp site
(ftp.symbios.com) with all the latest flash
and drivers. Thruput is reasonable at
3-5MB which is the limit of the disk anyway.
