Kopti) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Adaptec 2920 & FreeBSD Date: 3 Nov 1996 16:25:32 GMT Organization: George Washington University Lines: 19 Message-ID: <55ih1s$sq3@cronkite.seas.gwu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: 128.164.9.3 X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hi, I just switched from an IDE CD-ROM to a SCSI CD-ROM. [SONY CDU on an ADAPTEC 2920 SCSI Host Adpator]. I want to reload FreeBSD on the same IDE drive but this time with the SCSI CD-ROM drive, instead. [I will be installing 2.1 (Jan 96) replacing my current 2.0] 1) Has anyone used the ADAPTEC AHA 2920 host adpator, and if so, which driver did you use ? [I checked the current docs but there is no direct mention of the 2920 as a supported h/w. ] 2) If this is unsupported, could you reccommend another PCI. non PnP, PCI, host adaptor [BusLogic or Adaptec] which also has an external SCSI port [like the 2920] ? Thanks Juzer
