No they aren't. Adaptec are known for making some of the worst SCSI cards of all time. As far as I know there is no such thing as a good SCSI card unless it's one of those rather expensive Compaq 5304 RAID controllers :) > they've been making scsi cards for a long time.

BSD doesn't. > Well, I hope that some good luck befalls your Amiga stuff :-) It won't. I'm throwing it out once I get some new kit, the Power Tower is useless (LED board destroyed, AT PSU has no fan) the BlizzPPC seems to be fucked (*bad* SCSI errors, random crashes.. it was overclocked in a previous life and that guy obviously broke it) Maybe I'll sell my BVision on Amibench if anyone wants it. HyperCOM3 (parallel port not suitable for ECP modes, need a mod) I have an AGA scandoubler that works, I guess. And a PCMCIA fix. And a CNet PCMCIA network card, although I'm going about finding a laptop so it'll probably go in that as a stopgap to getting a decent net card for it.

I just can't compile V on my FreeBSD box like I can the rest of my projects: the 68k version needs SAS/C and the PPC version relies on too many Amiga things in the build process. I've been through and half-ported some of the stuff for AmIRC but.. well, it's a slow process when you have other things to do. > > :) > > Gee, I can't imagine *why* they wouldn't share :-P I'm sure if you give Jobs something, pun intended, they'll share eventually ;) -- Matt Sealey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
