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
