I *believe* we have a 7240 in one of our old machines, .. in which case
twe should work OK for yours. Just remember to grab the appropriate boot
floppy image (bsd.rd does not have the proper kernel driver), and you'll
now have to build a custom kernel, I believe. Confirm??
NOTE: 3Ware are old cards, .. all you get is basic driver compatibility -
no bioctl. They work fine at that level.
