Yes, weve built about 50 or so of them.... lets see... okay, only 30 of those where PIII-450's, others where 500's :-) And yes, this is specifically the P2B-D board, we don't use the P2B-DS unless someone really insists on it, we'd rather put an NCR 53C875 in it than sell them the -DS. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX @ CN85sl - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
