Does anyone have a recommendation for one? I am looking to connect a LTO tape drive to a FreeBSD 7 or 8 box and I've only ever used Adaptec 19160 and similar cards and LVDS SCSI. Our supplier has an LSI SAS3081E-R which is not outrageously expensive, has anyone used one? This post says it should work so it's my current front runner.. http://forums.freebsd.org/showpost.php?p=59735&postcount=5 Thanks. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
