Ideal SCSI adapter for me?

2008-11-06 Thread Kirk Strauser
I have a FreeBSD 7/amd64 system with a newly incompatible SCSI adapter (see 
kern/128452 for details).  I want to switch to a card that's still supported 
but don't want to spend an arm and a leg since its whole purpose in live will 
be to connect my UW-SCSI tape drive.  Any recommendations for cheap, minimal 
cards that are known to work well with recent FreeBSD releases?

I had used an Adaptec 2940 U/W PCI SCSI controller to connect a
tape drive, no problems; the ahc driver (from vers. 4 up to 7)
worked well. It would even run a scanner, a JAZ drive, a CD-ROM
drive and a PD drive (if anyone still knows what this is), as
well as different hard disks.

any used adaptec or symbios logic will work for sure.

in Poland UW-SCSI adapters are for 20$ used :)
