I am exploring some communications server development work and was looking into using the Intel PR440FX dual Pentium Pro motherboard. Do systems built around this board generally run both the FreeBSD uni-processor release and the current FreeBSD SMP release ? ( Not at the same time ! ) Are there working drivers for this boards integrated SCSI and 10/100BaseT ethernet controllers for these kernels ? The marketing literature describes the SCSI controller "Adaptec 2940UW (7880) SCSI Controller" and the ethernet as an "Ether Express". Thanks in advance. - Jim Zeitlin jzeitlin@ascend.com
