There is a place in town that has a couple of PCI AdvanSys cards it wants to get rid of. I happen to be in the market for a couple PCI scsi cards. The salesman pointed me to a file on the AdvanSys ftp server (ftp://ftp.advansys.com/pub/freebsd/freebsd.txt, dated 1/16/97) that noted ISA support was supposed to be done and PCI support was near completion. And, are these cards junk? (the ones he wants to sell are 930AU, I think). Which version of FreeBSD has this? It must be -current, since a grep of LINT doesn't show any matches for advansys in 2.2-stable. This same store has two Symbios 53c875 based cards on back-order for me, but they would cancel that order, if I got those AdvanSys cards. How good of trade would that be (the Advansys cards are about half the price of the Symbios cards, $80 vs. $150). I know the Symbios chip has the scripts memory, and can offload some of the work from the host CPU, but exactly how much of a win is that? Thanks for any anwser. -- Zach Heilig
