There are a number of possibilities. 1) They have better programmers that can handle abnormalities. 2) They realize that there are always going to be flaws in software and hardware and are smart enough to work around it. This is of course assuming that the actual problem is a defective controller that every other OS can handle correctly. If, and this is assuming that is correct, then why doesn't FreeBSD just code what the defective controller is allegedly sending and accept it? The simple fact the the code worked in versions prior to 12.x makes this excuse that the controlled is defective highly suspect. --=20 Jerry --Sig_/5SF9YYp.XeDq+i/G2lxjqLy Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGzBAEBCAAdFiEELeCiu2K+9VmEYYgTgHBP8gv9FXcFAmBV7LUACgkQgHBP8gv9 FXde4gv/S7Akv7D4zwTXRQEcqju3FPpZ0NtbEET0Tk0VC2AFHSLff8XA9hiOZWP4 SvNeBAdlSTJPwYqgr0j4H9iAz6idkp7jIV795BfhWQUQCT54O5cxEpuRjDGH2tsR u3bsGB7aSaWDdTzXdVwdjxU1JbvpOwjKROWaQXFCiO8IJfggO93OV49Xh9VfU8e5 0c+FZYV19Ah2KkSsmZPgE1SIZQey5TsUEug0U0kShOAvpxmkBNf8FiCdFgp40ecj 4XZXVkTP3CfJNwMgFYbzaVkq0tV3q6G4lypybmwNJm1EXjqMP8HCKqXRWjZzV4ho ISds8M0bgkgZvjTEGXRD/PHUyX/SPN9Pza+nIUBLbO+UR/HKODvWdXOt92qYHRF3 CfGSWpklaPsrexizTVLgNCXVdjivFYz8DjnK6QHfoizoglPBZLjme5PsCTWPz/nQ RVvsWP5FmlYIslYBlF2+pljFWEcW4T84JY/WeiHn0O37eGBWLit3vmVyOxMqTZGq W9cYHq/c =4lal -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/5SF9YYp.XeDq+i/G2lxjqLy--
