Well, I don't know it this will qualify as "server" class or not?

I've been looking at the ABit BP6.  I don't know how well it works since
I haven't purchased one yet but, it has 4 IDE channels; 2-UDMA/33 and 2-UDMA/66
(I don't think 66 is supported in NetBSD? but, I'd suspect they would work well
in degraded to 33 mode???).  That would be 8 drives.

I have no idea how well it may work with NetBSD. It does have 2 CPU sockets (PPGA??).
I was looking at it with SMP in mind.

If anyone has any experience with this board I'd love to hear about it.

Shopper & pricewatch list them for $1[12]9 or somewhere in that range.

Paul
