This will defeat the entire purpose. I am trying to recover data from a ccd device on a very old OpenBSD system. If I have to plug in a PCI video card, then the PCI slot will not be available for the Promise PCI hard drive controller. (There is only 1 PCI slot on this motherboard.)
The only way I can recover my data is with the Promise card. So this is a very disappointing result. :-( If anybody has any other suggestions, please let me know. Thanks, Kenneth J.
