In particular, is the 4 port Promise SATA150 TX4 supported? I don't see anything in the hardware list, but has anybody had any luck with these cards? My thought on this matter was to avoid the PCI interrupt issues by just using one of those somewhat inexpensive Serial ATA cards with 4+ ports and Serial->Parallel ATA converters on the HDDs (which aren't as inexpensive as I'd like but still within reason). Apparently nobody makes an affordable 4 port Parallel ATA controller, they're all pricy RAID solutions. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
