We've started to move services to FreeBSD and I finally took a good, long look at the driver code for these cards. It's highly incomplete (no support for Sync, Fast, Ultra, etc.) In another life, I'd offer to spend the time writing a real driver but that's not an option for a while. While it would be fairly easy to do some upgrades, real performance will require quite a bit of work. Is there ANY active development going on for this product line or should I just go out and buy Adaptec cards? There's no way I'm going to run a news transit server that lives in the freenix top 300 in async SCSI mode! /\/\ \/\/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
