Hi all,
We're about to purchase some PC-boxes for NetBSD. The questions is: What 
hardware is supported? I have this list from the fellow next door (A box 
for non-netBSD purposes) and figure I'll by the same stuff if it is a 
"wise choice".

Intel ADVANCED/EV PCI motherboard
P100
AMI Flash bios
256 kb pipeline burst cache
16 Mb EDO RAM
2 channels PCI EIDE hd controller
850 Mb WDC EIDE hd
ATI Mach 64 PCI, 1 Mb graphics card
Soundblaser AWE 32
Mitsumi FX600 6x CD-rom
3COM etherlink PCI combo
MS-mouse model II, serial

What do you think about it? 
Shall I replace anything of it? 
Is there device-driver support for all this?

I'm especially interested in wether this motherboard is considerd "good" 
or "bad".


Hope to hear from you folks!

/Anders
