I think it's as 'good as it's gonna get' as far as >support goes. Does this mean that the FreeBSD driver's inability to "force" an IRQ, contrary to what the card requests was fixed while I wasn't looking? That was the problem that made it fail the last time I took my Adaptec SlimSCSI out of its box and tried it. The interrupts that are available on my laptop form a disjoint set with those the card says it needs. If thats true, its just great! I can now buy an external SCSI drive and have more than just clean living going for me in connection with this machine. -- David E.
