Hi all,

As far as I know the SCSI drivers included with RiscBSD have only
been written for the SCSI II v1.0x and v2.0x hardware.

The SCSI III card is much later than the drivers, and so they may
not be fully compatible for installation.

Saying that, our copy of RiscBSD runs happily from a Ultra SCSI
III v2.0x card and 1GB IBM drive.

I have not tested it with our Ultra SCSI III v3.01 board design,
as this has only recently been launched.


On a better point, our developer does have the latest version of
RiscBSD, and will *look into the possibility* of finishing the
existing driver or writing new drivers for RiscBSD to support the
Power-tec range of products (including PowerROM).


He may need help, so if anyone has some time who also has
experence of using RiscBSD with our card can offer direct e-mail
support to our developer then please e-mail me.

Regards Neil...
