	Hi,

	First, a hats off from a soon-to-be BSD/OS convert. Good job!

	Putting a new system together (news, www, the usual). CD-ROMs on way.
	The FAQ doesn't mention tape backups - any support for
	IDE drives or just be smarter to go SCSI. Same question for CDROM.

	I'm thinking ASUS P133 motherboard, 3C509B ethernet, Buslogic 946c,
	but video/tape are unknown. Any pointers appreciated. 

	Thanks!
