I am considering the purchase of one of these machines expressly for the purpose of running freeBSD. For those not familar with them, both are PII 400MHz machines. The 8290 has 64MB 100MHZ SDRAM and a 12GB disk and the 8380 has 96MB 100MHZ SDRAM and a 8GB disk. they have ATI Rage PRO 3-D AGP graphics on the motherboard. I'm wondering if the DVD is servicable as a CD-ROM under freeBSD, and that the disk (12GB) IDE on the 8290 works correctly. o------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Gregory Benjamin Laserlab, Inc. o Laser photoplotting | | gregb@laserlab.com 6790 Top Gun Street o CNC machining | | Suite 9 o Chemical milling | | San Diego, CA 92121 o Printed Circuit Fabrication | | www.laserlab.com Tel: 619-646-7660 o Precision photomasks | | ftp.laserlab.com Fax: 619-646-7667 o AutoCAD to Gerber conversion | o------------------------------------------------------------------------o To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
