Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hmmm ... that file seems really out of date (if you've installed FreeBSD, it's in the directory /usr/share/FAQ/Text/systems.FAQ). Since it's so short, I'm enclosing a copy at the end of this message. I remember SOMEONE requesting that we all 'fess up what hardware we're using with FreeBSD in hopes of compiling a list to replace the systems.FAQ ... but this never seemed to come to fruition. Would whoever was doing that make their list available, even in a rather raw form? --Sean Systems FAQ for FreeBSD 2.0 This FAQ lists systems (and componets) known to work with FreeBSD 2.0. None of these lists should be seen as a recomandation for a manufacture. systems.FAQ,v 1.1 1995/03/21 20:19:47 jkh Exp i386: Motherboard: Magitronics 386DX-40 CPU: i386DX-40 Busses: ISA and VLB (VLB not tested) Ram: 20 Megs Video: Generic 1MB Tseng 4000 (ISA) Disks: 2 - Segate ST1126 (SCSI) 1 - Seagate ST1480 (SCSI) 1 - Toshiba MK-234FC-C (IDE) Controllers: Generic IDE Adaptec AH-1542CF Motherboard: Magitronics 386SX-40 CPU: i386SX-40 Busses: ISA Ram: 4 Megs Video: Monochrome Disks: 1-Seagate ST1126 (SCSI) Controllers: Future Domain 850 Notes: Slow but useable i486: Motherboard: Gateway 2000 Handbook 486 HB486DX2-40 CPU: i486SL DX2/40 BUS(S): PCMCIA, one type II Video Card: Monochrome VGA. Are you running X on this?: no, havn't really tried. Types of Disks (manufacture and bus): 130Mb builtin. If you wish to be credited: Poul-Henning Kamp phk@freefall.cdrom.com NOTES: This is a 3 pound portable. Runs perfect. Suspend works great. Has one serial and one parallel/floppy port, which can drive either a floppy or a parallel port, but not at the same time. Builtin "EZ" mouse-thinge. Highly recommended for people on the road.
