I have a 486, lots of people have 486 PC 104 boards. I have a lot of ISA stuff. VLSI support would be equally obsolete. So would support for a Sequent SMP 386. We don't support them. We have at least one feature you demonstate over and over needs moved to the attic. -- juli mallett. email: jmallett@freebsd.org; aim: bsdflata; efnet: juli; To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
