-----Original Message----- From: Emery Secosky <secosky@duq.edu> To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2002 09:58:25 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Hardware question Hi, I am evaluating FREEBSD 4.5 RELEASE. I noticed that on the hardware compatibility list for FREEBSD 4.5 that PERC 3/DC is not listed, but the PERC 3/DCL is supported and listed. In talking to DELL they mentioned that the only difference between the two cards is the physical size. =20 FREEBSD 4.5 installed with the PERC 3/DC card installed successfully without any problems. I was wondering if the PERC 3/DC is suppported since it uses the same driver as the PERC 3/DCL? Thanks, Emery Secosky Systems Administrator _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Don't know if you want to trust a Pitt graduate,=20 but...;) In terms of "support" as it's used in the hardware=20 compatibility list, you may have answered your own question. If I understand your note, you've successfully installed 4.5-RELEASE on a machine using the PERC 3/DC as a controller. Since "support" as used in the hardware compatibility list essentially means "works with" AIUI, it seems you've proved that 4.5-RELEASE does indeed support the PERC 3/DC. If you are asking in terms of "technical support" - well, this is your tech support right here, absent a contract with a company specifically providing tech support for the FreeBSD OS.
