Date: Mon, 09 Dec 96 18:27:18 -0800 X-Mts: smtp Sender: owner-hardware@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk One of the local computer outlets here in Victoria, BC, has a special trade-up push-pull-or-drag sale. (The plan is to trade an old 286 machine in for the Pentium promotion). The deal is; 120 MHz Pentium, with 8 MB memory (if I decide to go ahead with the deal I will have 32 MB installed), a 1 GB EIDE, a 3.5 inch floppy drive, an S3 card, and a Micro$oft keyboard, all in a 13 inch tower case. Does FreeBSD work with EIDE drives? Is there anything I need to watch for? Does anyone have any experience with the S3 card? How well does it work with X?
