Hello,

just on the way to choose a new box for use with FreeBSD-2.0.5,
and to place a Usenet server on it,
I spent some hours today testing a Pentium-90 EISA/PCI box.
It had:

32Mb RAM
adaptec 7870 chip onboard (didn't ever seen such a fast disk I/O!)
tvga9000i with 512k
and
D-Link EISA ethernet card, with SONIC chip on it.

Couldn't get it recognized at all; is it really not supported or
I'm missing something? The small book which came with it didn't give
me any pointer about it's compatibility with any known card.
Drivers for SCO and UW were present, though.

After adding a line `controller eisa0' to
a kernel config I got it at least found, but EISA probe code
told me that "...no drivers installed". For a pity, I couldn't
save and provide here the kernel messages.
