And I have three machines which I was trying to use for testing -current and my
firewall. These machines all have either a CMD640 or an RZ100 controller on the
motherboard. (They seemed to be popular with the early Pentium machines.) The
controllers seem reliable enough to use for extended periods as test machines.
If it gets trashed because of a controller bug, I can simply reinstall and only
lose the install time.
I upgraded my firewall to an old Adaptec SCSI controller, but I don't care about
data integrity on the other machines. Unfortunately, none of them are usable at
the moment because of various bugs (panics on boot, not probing the hard drive,
etc.).
