No, not quite that bad. I do have one old workstation running Solaris 
11.3. If ever that gets upgraded, it'll also be most of the hardware in 
the box.

My FreeBSD machine has a GT-730 based card. When it boots linux, it uses 
the 390 driver. For some reason on FreeBSD 340 works but not 390 (at 
least that was the case when I installed, ~18 months ago, I should 
perhaps try again).
