>A lot of people use the stuff on the FreeBSD lists as guidelines when >they buy PCs for other uses. There's a couple of fine web pages out there where you can gen up a quote for a damn solid PC for FreeBSD, and I use them to come up with a first cut for a PC for *anything*. When I recommend hardware components, I will normaly just spec the same ones rgrimes did in the systems he built for us for our Internet link. The DPT driver problem has been a real problem for some time, by the way. I ran into it several years back when we got a DPT controller for a System V box and had to run it in MFM-emulation-mode because there was no driver, I couldn't hook a tape drive to it at all, and we quickly sent it back and got a WD7000 (I think... the box has long since been recycled to lower purposes (running Widows for Workgroups) and there's a WD7000 card upstairs in the morgue) which did have a driver.
