Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I want to buy a cheap scsi2 card for my freebsd (2.1.5) box. I hesitate between Asus SC200 and Tekram DC390. I heard that the main problem with Asus SC200 is that it doesn't include a scsi BIOS and, therefore, it doesn't work if the PC mainboard doesn't support NCR bios ? Is that true ? And how to verify if my mainboard is comptatible ? Second, i also read in mailing list archive that the Tekram use an AMD chip which is not so good than NCR chip used by Asus. Again, is that true ? Which card is the best for scsi2 ? Thanks you very much.
