Perhaps I was wrong. I am talking about these: : : device ncv # NCR 53C500 : device nsp # Workbit Ninja SCSI-3 : device stg # TMC 18C30/18C50 : : Perhaps the reason is just that nobody has the hardware to test on amd64. Correct. Those drivers have issues with amd64, or did when I did some quick tests. I never revisited them because they are for fairly slow cards to start with. They did work for me when I tried them on i386 last. Of course none of them have been tested by me since about the 7.0 branch. Warner
