<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>could you be a little more specific on the RAID
card ?? ie model numbers etc. FreeBSD has a good listing of supported
hardware at <A
href="http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.7R/hardware-i386.html">http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.7R/hardware-i386.html</A> this
is for version 4.7 although you might want to have a play with ver 5.0.
I personally have had a little trouble with it and am waiting till it gets a
bit more stable.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I dare say the mobo is supported so you shouldnt
have a worry there.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Heya everyone</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm gradually putting together a machine to
operate as a fileserver (so i can serv lots of..umm..stuff over
wireless yay!!), and was wondering if anyone has any experience with using
an Adaptec RAIDPort card in a GA-686DLX motherboard? Also if any
combinations work in linux or BSD?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Seems to be precious little on the web..maybe i
just suck at the googling!!</FONT></DIV>
