me> flavor? *shudders-knowing-she-is-thinking-linux* OpenBSD
Sales> I don't know I can try transferring you to Support.
me> ok
Support> hi this is Bob.
me> I'm trying to find a compatible card for use in OpenBSD, I have
the ASIC numbers and just need to find out which cards they are on
Support> oh we don't support OpenFreeBSD they might have some more
information though on whether they will work.
Me> Yes yes, I HAVE the information on what ASIC's that will work I
just need to get a list of cards that you have that contain these
chipsets.
Support> well you might be able to get them to work but we don't support freebsd
Me> I'm running OpenBSD, and they DO have a list of the chipsets that
will work, I understand that YOU won't support it. How can I get a
list of cards and their associated ASICs?
Support> oh we don't keep track of that. You might be able to contact
the vendor of your motherboard
Me> I have a tx2200 pci card that won't help.
Support> we do support linux
Me> I'm just trying to find out what card I need to buy to use these
SATA drives under OpenBSD. Where can I get information on what card I
need to buy?
Support> Most of those are OEM cards supported by the manufacturer
Me> {thinking WTF? I told him it was a PCI card} Well what about
this card (reads a PDC nubmer from the openbsd website)
Support> (didn't even check) oh that's an OEM card
Me> what about this one (reads another)
Support> ya those are all OEM cards
Me> Fine. thank you.
My first question is this, is everyone at Promise incompetent?
My second question is, does anyone know what card I can use with SATA
150 drives?
