I presume it is a waste of energy to be sure of anything in public. No matter how sure one is something, chances are someone will "correct" this sureness...regardless of the correctness or lack thereof of either party. Such a conflict can only waste energy. Thus, I rely only on hard data, which doesn't need my surety to exist. All hard data points to this being an SiI 3112 and that DragonFly doesn't support it. But I am still unsure of what it really is. ;) > you may discover that it works in a very poor way, in case it works at > all. FreeBSD developers strongly discourage the use of this hardware. Yes, so I read. I am purchasing a 3ware. I need some stability and support, which the discussions seem to indicate SiI 3112 lacks (and hence the decision to use DragonFly over FreeBSD 5.X...FreeBSD 4.X does not boot on this box). Of course, why I am using SATA and not SCSI when I need stability is my foible and quite beyond the scope of this message. ------ Dave Hayes - Consultant - Altadena CA, USA - [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> The opinions expressed above are entirely my own <<< I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers. -- Kahlil Gibran
