I just regained a PCI machine recently, so as soon as David Greenman returns my 7850 card, I'll be looking into the problem again. I can't say when we will have support for it, but hopefully before 2.1.5 goes out the door. >BTW How many people are working on the scsi part of the kernel? For the aic7xxx driver, that would be me, myself, and I. The rest of the SCSI system would be Joerg Wunch, Peter Dufault, Stephan Esser, Julian Elisher, and me. If you can afford one, the 2940 is really nice. Oh, and if you get your self up and running to the point where you can compile kernels, I may be able to ship you patches that work on the 7850 before there is boot media generally availible with the patches. Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you... been really swamped at work. > >-- >marc@soda.berkeley.edu -- Justin T.
