This is something new to me, I hadn't had to worry about the difference
between wide and ultra wide.  I have the IBM DCAS 34330W drive already,
I think that's a wide drive.  I'm looking at the web page now for the
34560W, and it doesn't say ultra either.  It says that the interface has
2 modes, one with LVD and one without it.  Doesn't seem to be too well
defined as to what the non-LVD mode is.

Guess I'm going to find out tho, I went ahead and ordered it.  I really
liked the 34330, and I understand the 34560 is as cool as the 34330W is.
Being cool is important to me, 'cause I run SMP, and I don't need
melting processors.  Extra fans are extra loud.

Thanks for all the help, everybody, the response has been remarkable,
even for FreeBSD.  I sure appreciate it.
