What I tried to point out, that they only mentioned SE-SCSI cards above, but no LVD/HVD ones. The chipsets used by those controllers mentioned are the 7770 for VLB (2842A), and for the PCi ones there are some different ones in the 78xx range. I was referring to that entry in LINT mentioned, to point out that the LVD series is not mentioned there, as the U2W series has chips with 789x... Hope this helps to clarify things a bit... I also ran across an 2940U2W-onboard of the ASUS P2B-S. This implementation also was very picky about some cabling/driver issues, although it was only running Lose98 and NT... (no, it was not my machine ;-) ) Regards Olaf Hoyer -------- Olaf Hoyer www.nightfire.de mailto:Olaf.Hoyer@nightfire.de FreeBSD- The power to serve ICQ:22838075 Liebe und Hass sind nicht blind, aber geblendet vom Feuer, dass sie selber mit sich tragen.
