Dan ann Darryl, Thank you for the help. I was looking through the release notes for FreeBSD 2.2 and noticed that one of the improvements over 2.1 is support for the Adaptec AIC7850 on-board SCSI controllers. Since I don't have a big DOS partition to eaily download stuff to I guess I will wait until Walnut Creek sends me 2.2-Relase on CD-ROM. Best Regards, Matt Daniel M.
