Intraserver cards implement a wide range of combinations using 21143 ethernet, symbios scsi and chips for other functionalities. Nice cards IMHO. If they work depend on the symbios chip they use. Additionaly there are several older alphas that can't boot from controllers behind pci-pci bridges - under which category most of the Intraserver combination cards fall. I don't know if the PWS has problems with bridges. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
