 Your kidding right? I mean that says Hey we have this
driver it does SCSI. We have this other driver it does
SCSI CD's.. etc.. That's It!

 Might point was.. How Lame that is. FreeBSD has the
Hardware Notes. The best in some ways was OpenBSD who
also had links to the driver notes.  So if I have an
Adaptec Blah Blah Blah and I want to know if it's
supported by your OS, I have to write to someone or
just try and install it? Is that what your saying?  
 Doesn't that defeat the point of having a helpful
website?

 Not if I can't even tell what hardware you support.
