I have virutally the same configuration running release 2.0 (or at least it was running release). The only difference is an AMD 486DX2-80 instead of the DX4. One thing I have found with the NEC CDR84J is that you should not depend on it's termination... use an external termination pack, or put your hard disk at the end of the chain. This is especially important if you have the AHA-2842 (non-A rev). - Roger >>I recently obtained Freebsd 2.0 and am having some difficulty.
