My questions are: (1) Will FreeBSD run with this hardware? Particularly I'm concerned about the video card and the SCSI card. I've read the list of compatible hardware at http://www.freebsd.org and don't understand. Since your followup message shows this PCI SCSI controller to be an UltraSCSI FAST-20 model, I'm pretty sure it that is the new BusLogic FlashPoint LT. The FlashPoint LT uses a new architecture that is not compatible with the older MultiMaster models, and it is not likely that it is supported yet. Leonard
