I am trying to get more than 2 IDE controllers working on a PC running FreeBSD. There are obviously two sides to this question: 1. Can FreeBSD do it? 2. Can the hardware support it? I am not concerned about the system BIOS recognizing the 3rd controller on boot up, although I suspect that would be nice. Does anyone on this mailing list know the answer to question #2 above? I am specifically talking about having more than two master controllers (each with up to the standard two drives). I am NOT talking about having more than two drives on a single cable (say, for instance, master + 2 slaves). Ern
