I recently installed FreeBSD version 2.2.1, and was forced to do a DOS partition install because FreeBSD doesn't support the SIIG adapter. The adapter came with a diskette having 3 different types of UNIX drivers for it. They are: SCO, IUX, and UNIXWARE. My question is this: Which one of these drivers, if any, would be most likely to work with FreeBSD? > Probably none of those. But you might find a support mailing list from Sony, maybe they are able and willing to provide a driver for FreeBSD 2.2.1. PS Please break your lines at about 70 characters, it's much easier to read here than w/o any line breaks. Thank you Wolfgang
