Pentium. BTW, it's not due to bad memory. It's due to this new Goldstar CD-ROM.
I took their older version - Goldstar 540 and it worked fine. And I had similar
problem with WinNT - it defines it as ATAPI 1.2 CD-ROM and dies, when trying to
install from it ;(.

Obviously, Goldstar engineers had invented something very new ;).
Btw, I gave this CD-ROM to Serge Vakulenko (vak@cronyx.ru) - the author of the
ATAPI CD-ROM driver - perhaps FreeBSD will support it soon.
