The onboard scsi controller is ncr53c710 based, on and off people have mentioned taking a stab at building a driver for it, none have materialized so far (there is a linux driver for that chip IIRC). The proliant 2000 is pre Intel SMP spec 1.1, about the only thing that'll run multiprocessor on that box is netware and perhaps a compaq proprietary version of NT3.5. It will drive standard eisa and isa cards, though getting them to play nice with their eisa config util is somewhat maddening. good luck, On Fri, 8 May 1998, Patrick McManus wrote: > Is FreeBSD supported on a Compaq Proliant 2000?
