FreeBSD version is 5.4 32 bit PCI not sure if they are 33/66Mhz as I dont have the manual to hand. Now the card is in the bottom PCI slot which is the only place it would fit becuase of the 7006-2 above it and the way that the standard IDE connectors are mounted. Would moving the top card to the bottom slot and putting the 9500S-12 in the top slot screw with FreeBSD in anyway or will it just accept the changes and keep on going? I know windows has an issue with this and wants you to reinstall drivers and such like if you move cards around. Cheers Richard
