I've been running a Windows95 on my PentiumPro machine for 6 months
now, and need to install a UNIX based OS on my machine (as recently
specified by the company funding my research).
I have a brand spank'n new Western Digital 4Gb Cavier drive just
waiting for the new OS, and I'm trying to decide the best way to get
UNIX on my PC. FreeBSD looks like a great candidate, but I need to be
sure I can get data acquired using my Windows95 based DAQ system to the
UNIX drive(via the backup drive on my PPC machine), and ultimately to
the company I'm working for. Basically, I need to know weather FreeBSD
supports the 3Com PnP ethernet cards? And if the PnP cards are not
supported by FreeBSD, do you have any suggestions on moving the data
from the Windows95 drive to the UNIX drive?
Thank you for your time;
