Hi everybody!

I have some questions for you wizards, i would appreciate any help from
you.

1) 

I am trying to figure out which hardware runs well on freebsd, but i got
confused about two references:

Quoting from the following url: 
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.4R/notes.html

i see:

"Adaptec 274X/284X/2920C/294x/2950/3940/3950 (Narrow/Wide/Twin) series
EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI controllers."

But in /sys/i386/conf/LINT, i got no reference showing me that my system
support 3950U2W.
The only reference line, points me:

# The `ahc' device provides support for the Adaptec 29/3940(U)(W)
# and motherboard based AIC7870/AIC7880 adapters.

So, which kernel device(s)/options should i enable to use adaptec
3950U2W


2)

Does any body here use 3960U2W ? Does it runs well?
Which hard disks delivers 160Mb/s on U2 interface?

3)
If adaptec 3950U2W is not supported by FreeBSD 3.4Stable, i am
considering using 2940U2W.
I would like to hear from you, what options on hard disk i have (Ones
that delivers 80MB/s) and how success you have gotten using them.

Thanks a lot for your time and cooperation.
best regards,
        Gustavo Rios.
