thanks everyone for the help.

I bought a 256MB, 10x card (SimpleTech). It is much faster 
than the 4x one I was testing with. After I play awhile 
I'll do some benchmarks on the speed difference.

NetBSD was by far the easiest install I have ever 
experienced. I'm very happy with it.

thanks again,
ken
