A Chinon CDS-545 and a Turtle Beach TBS-4002. Both have been used as
the slave on the secondary onboard controller of a Tyan Tomcat II.
Primary has a Western Digital 540 (booting OS/2 and Lose95, and a
??10meg FAT data partition that all three {OK 2.25} OSs can see) master
and a 1 gig WD (OS/2 data partition and 65megs of FreeBSD swap) slave,
the secondary has a 1.2 gig WD (FreeBSD /everything) and the CD-ROM.
The Chinon also worked as slave on the secondary controller of a
Buslogic VLB BT-410, installed and ran 2.1.0 just fine. It wouldn't
work with OS/2 and Buslogic tech support said that I had an early
version of the card that does not support ATAPI CD-ROMs. Gotta love
that FreeBSD.<G>
I installed 2.1.5 with the Chinon, and 2.2-SNAP0801 and 2.1.5 with the
Turtle Beach on the onboard controller.
