I am considering the purchase of a new mother board to be used in a
FreeBSD system. The motherboards has a built in Adaptec AIC-78x0 Fast
SCSI-2 Controller.
I know FreeBSD supports the AIC-7850 Fast SCSI-2 Controller, but will
this driver also support the AIC-7880 Fast-Wide SCSI-2 Controller?
Also, which SCSI controller would give me the best performance the
Fast SCSI-2 or the Fast Wide SCSI-2?
The motherboards I found are from CDM Distributors (
http://www.iquest.net/cdm ). Has Anyone had any problems running
FreeBSD on these motherboards?
Pro-Tech JBP55S w/Built in Adaptec AIC-7850 (AHA2940 equiv.) Fast SCSI
II Controller ( http://www.iquest.net/cdm/jbp55s.html )
Pro-Tech JBW55S w/Built in AIC-7880 (AHA-2940UW comp.)Fast-Wide SCSI
II Controller ( http://www.iquest.net/cdm/jbw55s.html )
Thanks for the help
