Haven't a clue. The 53c1030 is a single chip - two instances showing up multifunctioned. I have to say that Peter has had some problems that look interrupt related also. But I haven't. I just more or less finished some non-FreeBSD work with a 1030 so I can plop the card into a FreeBSD machine again and check. > > >>No, I was running a Dell-branded 1.0.0.
