In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Almost any supported controller will be fine. I'm not sure which would be bootable though (SRM is such a crapshoot about this). So, you have QLogic {1X80,12160}, LSI-Logic 895, 896 && 1010, Adaptec 29160. Of the three, I doubt that the 29160 has been exercised much under FreeeBSD-alpha. The LSI-Logic cards are fine, and supported pretty well and are cheap. I of course like the QLogic cards, but the LSI-Logic cards are a better buy (i.e., more easily available, not only from LSI-Logic or Tekram, but even small shops like Antares who make a fine set of cards).
