Dear FreeBSD people, I am hoping to get FreeBSD working with an Adaptec 1542CP SCSI card, but it doesn't seem to be working, and I've now been informed that FreeBSD 2.1.5 does not support the 5142CP, but that later fixes may address this issue. Could you provide some guidance please? On a related matter, I also can't get my Mitsumi LU002 to work either, as it times out too much. BTW, both cards work fine with Linux, so the hardware end should be fine. Thanks in advance, Erik Pearson On Fri, 1 Nov 1996, Mike Leach wrote: > > > > On Mon, 28 Oct 1996, Erik A Pearson wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I just received FreeBSD 2.1.5, but it doesn't seem to correctly utilize > > my Adaptec 1542CP SCSI driver to access a a MediaVision CD-ROM.
