I have one (thank goodness it was given to me, I didn't buy it. :) ) It usually sits on the shelf, but when I have tried to use it, it will do all kinds of strange things. In some machines, the probe fails to detect it. Drop it straight into another machine, and it will be detected fine. If you can get it detected, sometimes it will basically work, and sometimes it will go at about 5 K/sec. Drop it into another machine, and it'll do 800 K/sec. Don't ask me... I don't know. That's why it sits on the shelf. :) Later...... <Doug> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
