I don't think any of the drivers in the tree support Ultra160 yet. Justin is working on support for the Adaptec driver, and Gerard Roudier is working on support for his Symbios driver. From Matt's message, it looks like he is working on support for QLogic's Ultra160 boards. As for whether FreeBSD 4.0 will have support for those boards, that probably depends on when 4.0 is released. My guess is that all three (Symbios, Adaptec and Qlogic) will probably be supported, but there are no guarantees of course. > Adaptec makes an Ultra160 PCI-to-Ultra2 SCSI Host Adapter (AHA-3950U2). > Is this card compatible with FBSD or will it be? The 3950U2 is not an Ultra160 board. It is a dual channel Ultra2 board. And yes, it does work with FreeBSD. I've got one, in fact: ahc0: <Adaptec 3950B Ultra2 SCSI adapter> irq 12 at device 10.0 on pci0 ahc0: aic7896/97 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs ahc1: <Adaptec 3950B Ultra2 SCSI adapter> irq 12 at device 10.1 on pci0 ahc1: aic7896/97 Wide Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@kdm.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
