Hi - I did ask this a couple of days back but got no replies. Having spent last night fighting with the CD burner on a W2000 machine I'm even more motivated than I was ! So ... I have a question about USB with FreeBSD4.4. I have (or will have this afternoon when it arrives) an old Compaq Deskpro P90 and I'm thinking of putting a PCI card in it to provide some USB ports. I want to do this so than I can (I hope, haven't investigated this fully yet) plug in a CD burner (HP 8200) and so burn CD's via FreeBSD. What I'd like to know is how does FreeBSD cope with USB devices being plugged in/out and powered on/off whilst the machine is running. I don't know why but some thing makes me wonder if this stuff is all going to work OK ? I'd also be interested in anyone who has anything to say about USB ports via PCI under FBSD on an antique machine (as opposed to motherboard ports on a more recent machines). Any gotchas there ? thanks richard shea richardshea@fastmailNOTTHISBIT.fm ps : BTW the type of card I've got in mind is : http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/3ce8555c07968370273fc0a87f99070e/Product/View/XH6646 -- http://fastmail.fm/ - The professional email service To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
