To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Date: Thu, 28 Sep 1995 17:23:35 -0700 (PDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 525 Sender: owner-hardware@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I was thinking of building a bridge using a 386 Dx25. It only has to be a minimal system.. Currently I just have the motherboard, and old ATI VGA 512k video board, and a WD8000e network card.. I need a disk drive, memory and thats about it...oh, and a case :) So I was thinking about: 420 meg HD 4 megs ram and thats about it... The main system is my current 486 dx2 66 machine which is also running freebsd. Does anyone have any insights/advice on using a 386 with my proposed config? Thanks, Don Littlefield II
