This is not too old, indeed. I'd say relatively modern :-) You said that in some cases you were getting BTX error messages. Could you please get a screen capture of that (e.g. with a digital camera)? -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
