: Dose any one out there have a kernel complied to boot the Jaz 1 gig drive
: using the Jaz Jet PCI SCSI card.  I am trying to get my freebsd running
: again.  I can get linux installed but my PS2 mouse port is not working.  
: The Jaz Jet card is an Advanced System inc.  PCI SCSI Card.   I have the
: Jaz and a HP 4020i CDR running on it.  It works fine for Linux except the
: mouse.  

Advansys is not a supported company yet...
You can boot the Jaz Jet card because it has a bios on it.
However, that still won't make it work for freebsd...
There is currently work being done on it, but I don't know the status of 
the project...
I wish it was out, cuz I have one of these too.. I'm just gonna try to 
sell this thing and get an Adaptec 2940
