Sorry to continue more OT stuff, but: What FC host adapters are working well in FreeBSD? I just found an Adaptec model used for very cheap. It's actually possible that Fiber Channel could be cheaper than Ultra160 if you build your own enclosure with Cinonic cards, buy clearance 1 GHz drives, and are lucky enough to find a very cheap used host adapter. I'm not sure this is a good thing, since it doesn't seem like Fiber Channel is easy to set up reliably.... - dan feldman student, garfield high school, seattle On Sat, 10 Mar 2001, David Miller wrote: > Apologies for the off topic nature of the question... > > I see FC drives for sale unbelievably cheap in a number of > places. megahaus.com has 36 GB IBM FC drives for $219, pricewatch has 9 > GB and 18 GB drives from seagate and IBM for under $100. > > The issue, of course, is that one needs a low cost enclosure to mount > them in. > > Any suggestions?
