Hi all! Been lurking for a little while, and checking out the webpages. I think all of my hardware is ok, except I haven't seen anything about the Matrox Millenium (4meg). I did see something about another Matrox card, but not that one. I just found out that I am getting a new 2nd hand drive (Seagate ST31230N, 1 gig) and figured I might as well try an installation tonight! I was expecting to lurk longer, but fate seems to be pushing me ahead. Here's my hardware, in case anyone cares to confirm or deny any potential problems (actually, I have some questions here too!): Motherboard: Tyan Tomcat III P5 Processor: P-133 (``classic'') Sound Card: SoundBlaster16 at dma channel 1 irq 5 Ethernet card: Intel EtherExpress PRO/10+ ISA at port 0x300 irq 10 Pointing Dev: PS/2 Logitech MarbleMan Trackball (will this work??) CD-ROM: Sony CDU76s (4x) Controller: Adaptec 2940 Host Adapter found at Bus 0 Device 19 Weirdness: The Ethernet card listed above is actually the second Ethernet card (ie en1 not en0). Yes, I have 2 Ethernet cards. One is en0 which connects my old computer (without a real address) to my new computer (which has a real address). The second one is en1 which connects my new computer to the Internet via a cable modem (I was planning a net-install of FreeBSD) I am a PC-hardware weenie, and know nothing about IRQs and DMAs and all that other stuff (this machine was put together for me) Here is the current DMA and IRQ listings: ISASerialPort1: Base=0x02f8, IRQ=3, Type=16550AF/C/CF, FIFO=16 ISASerialPort0: Base=0x03f8, IRQ=4, Type=16550AF/C/CF, FIFO=16 SoundBlaster16 at dma channel 1 irq 5 DECchip21040 based adapter at port 0x6000 irq 9 Intel EtherExpress PRO/10+ ISA at port 0x300 irq 10 Final note: the machine is 100% SCSI, no (E)?IDE anywhere. Thanks for your time and help, TjL
