Well, I know that there were machines using Alpha and PowerPC processors (and MIPS, and PA-RISC, and ...) that provided real (E)ISA-slots. Those might not count though since recent releases of FreeBSD have dropped support for Alpha, and the relevant PowerPC (etc.) machines have probably never been supported by FreeBSD. For machines that are currently supported by FreeBSD and which provides ISA-slots it is probably only the i386 architecture that qualifies. (There might also be some motherboard out there that has ISA-slots and supports amd64-capable CPUs but one will have to look fairly hard to find one.) -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
