We are buying the Intel boards and be done with it! We've sent a de board out to somebody (too lazy to see who it was) though. Besides, it looks like Matt *IS* intending to support the de boards on FreeBSD, so perhaps whoever is working on this should coordinate with him. I blame this whole thing on Digital, really, for changing enough of the chip to break things to start with. :-) BTW, I did write to some of the consultants on the web page. Nobody replied. Afraid it's too little too late for us on the de driver. I will know where to ask next time though! I think the moral of the story is to not trust the supported hardware list and just buy whatever cdrom.com uses. Tim
