I'm looking at upgrading my system to a Pentium-based system, and am interested in the Tyan Titan III motherboard, with an NCRc8xx PCI-SCSI controller. I have three questions: 1) What is the latest model number of the NCR controllers? I've seen mention of the NCRc825, but have yet to find any vendors (i.e. in "Computer Shopper") that have that model. I understand the 810 works very well, but am curious about the 825, or if there are any newer models that supercede the 810. I've only got references to two vendors that carry the NCRc810 at all; does anybody have any vendor recommendations? 2) ASUS apparently packages the 810 chip in a PCI SCSI controller of their own; I've read that their controller card will only work in their boards. Is this true, so should I get an NCR card? 3) Is anybody running FreeBSD 2.x on a Tyan motherboard? Should I look at other motherboards instead? (I'll be going directly to 2.1 when it is released.) Please send e-mail directly to me. I'll summarize to the list if there's enough interest. Thanks for your help. =rich -- Rich Scott DMP/MAE USWest Technologies, Denver, CO <rxscot2@lookout.ecte.uswc.uswest.com>
