The series I'll probably get is the XU, with a P5-133. It uses an internal IDE (blech) controller and an Ultra SCSI2 controller, also on the motherboard. I suspect (and hope!) it is an Adaptec similar to the 2940U (at least using the same chipset) but I'd like a confirmation before taking the XU series. Does anyone know if this SCSI adapter is supported by FreeBSD (I'll probably install a 2.2-SNAP on it) ? Last (and why it is also on hardware) has anyone success/horror stories with the latest HP series (VL4 with IDE and XU with both) ? The configuration I'm looking for is P5-133, 32 or 48 MB, 2x 1 Go SCSI2, SCSI CDROM 4x and Cirrus Logic video adapter (they offer Matroxes as well but even if they're good, I don't like their policy...)

If it's anything like the XU 5/90C that's next to my workstation, it does *NOT* use an adaptec controller. My XU 5/90C uses some AMD SCSI chip, which I believe is not supported by any FreeBSD version (at least, it's not mentioned in either the FAQ or handbook, and there doesn't appear to be any driver filenames in the 6/12 -snap that contain "amd"). Under Windows 95, the built-in SCSI is reported as an "AMD PCI SCSI Controller" (darn, I was hoping for some chip numbers).

My XU 5/90C uses some AMD SCSI I know old versions use something we don't support but this is a very recent model I think and the term used "Ultra SCSI2" makes me think it is the same adapter as the new Pentium Pro as two other persons said. I'll fervently hope it is the same for the P133.
