Again, what version of FreeBSD are you going to be running on the box? I've got stuff that should work as far back as 2.2 but I'll have to dig it out of RCS. Or I can just give you the RCS file and let you figure it out though my check-in comments are less than helpful. ftp;//ftp.jurai.net/users/winter/dpt_eisa.hack.c,v I'm going to fix the in tree DPT EISA code once I implement something a little less ugly to retreive the onboard config via PIO. (That or figure out the correct incantation to feed the EISA config regs to retreive the config ECU style.) > -----Original Message----- > From: Matthew N.
