Once again we are going to buy hardware, where
I want to run NetBSD on.
We are looking into a Supermicro 1U System
named 6012P-6B (Transtec 1001L). 

It is built from the following:

- Intel E7500 "Plumas" chipset
- Intel 2.4GHz Xeon with 512KB Cache
- ICH3 IO Controller Hub
- P64H2 PCI-X Hub
- AIC-7899W SCSI
- Intel 82550 Ethernet (1x10/100 + 1x10/100/1000)

It seems, that the PCI-X Hub can be configured to run 
with 66MHz for older cards.
We would only run one processor on it.

There is more info at 
http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/Manuals/server%20systems/6012P-6_1.0a.pdf

Would NetBSD run on such a system? 

I can have one for testing for two weeks, but if anybody
tells me that it doesn't work yet, I save some time.

Thanks very much

Chris
