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
