Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have a 3-year-old Thinkpad 720 on which I'd like to run FreeBSD. It has 4MB, upgradeable to 16MB, and a 120MB disk, upgradeable to 340MB. Since disk drives swap in and out easily, I can change OS personalities just by swapping drives. Specs from IBM claim it's a MicroChannel machine. I had read once that FreeBSD doesn't support the MCA architecture. Am I out of luck? Possibility with NetBSD or OpenBSD?
