Please, justify this. This is contradictionary to all shown test results, and it's also unlike my own experiences with a machine running FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 on a NCR 52C810 chipset. The machine works as a corporate server (mostly NFS), and before it has been moving physically lately, it's been up for more than 100 days. The total achievable throughput on the SCSI bus was more than 7.5 MB/s. Until you could give us good reasons for your opinion, i consider it a lie. (The fact that other operating systems might not run as well with it doesn't prove the chipset is junk, it does only prove that the driver developers of those systems didn't do their homework very well. This apparently includes a bunch of commercial systems.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
