Guess I'll do that... > What version of FreeBSD are you using? What is the sea0 driver > for? FreeBSD version is: 2.2-961014-SNAP. The sea0 driver is an 8-bit ISA 8-bit SCSI controller card. Amazingly enough, I don't think the Tekram card is more than about 50% faster that the 8-bit card... The drive is a 3600rpm, 5MB/s, SCSI-2 one, but I'm planning on getting fast/wide SCSI from now on. I canabalized an old XT when I upgraded to a 486 PCI board, and I'm slowly replacing the stuff from the XT. I just got the case left, which I'm not too worried about. -- Zach Heilig (zach@blizzard.gaffaneys.com) | ALL unsolicited commercial email Support bacteria -- it's the | is unwelcome.
