I used the stock 2.0R kernel as provided in the distribution, unmodified and un-rebuilt. The machine is extremely stock, and all the devices in it were correctly recognized and operational (except for the tape drive), so I didn't re-build it. As an update I have swapped in the cable with which the tape drive is supposed to hook up, and the result is now the kernel doesn't even see the tape drive! The floppy drive still appears to be working however > Thanks in advance, > > -ivan- > ivan@nauplius.rsmas.miami.edu > > Anybody out there have any further insight on this wonderous set of occurances? - Walter Huff
