I have to specify the machines to buy for these (and we buy Micron PCs), so my question is this... Are there any known problems running FreeBSD on a Micron Millenium (uses Triton PCI chipset) Pentium machine with the following hardware: - BusLogic BT-946C (Rev D) PCI SCSI controller - SMC EtherPower PCI (10 Mb/s) Ethernet card - Stealth 64 PCI graphics card My main concern is the fact that I'll have three PCI cards (It seems I've seen stuff in the FAQs about the various PCI chipsets with multiple PCI cards). Also, is the SMC EtherPower card even supported under FreeBSD (I don't know what chipset it uses)? I probably won't be using X-Windows, so the graphics card is relatively unimportant (I could substitute for a vanilla VGA card if I had to). If the SMC EtherPower isn't compatible, will I lose a lot of performance using a lesser SMC Elite16 Ultra ISA card? Our link to our ISP will probably be only 56K, so PCI ethernet cards may not provide any advantage. Any thoughts? Thanks, Matt Hagadorn msh@chesapeake.com
