No, unfortunately there isn't. I tried to get the ncrs included into 64-bit, but it was turned down with the reason being that the controllers were old (albeit, the Symbios 895/896 was a very common controller used in 32-bit), and weren't even readily available anymore. I was barely able to convince folks (due to shortage of developers available) to port the cadp160, which was a U160 Adaptec controller. Had there been more resources to work on these issues, I'm certain that all of them could have made it. > Furthermore, what is the recommended SCSI adapter to use on Solaris > x86_64 systems? > Thanks. The more recent LSI and Adaptec U320 controllers work fine, AFAIK. I still run SCSI at home, old habits are hard to break...but SATA is looking attractive for the future. SATA is very limited on current support but the Silicon Image 3124 is working in SATA II mode and putback into nevada. -- Alan DuBoff - Sun Microsystems Solaris x86 Engineering _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
