I am currently contemplating upgrading my P5 233 to FreeBSD.  However, I had
a few questions, first.

First - will it support my ATAPI tape drive?
Second - I am debating adding a Promise Technologies UDMA/66 IDE controller
card onto the machine, and wanted to find out if that would pose any
problems.
Third - Could you provide suggestions for partitioning a 16 gig hard drive
in order to have the most efficient layout possible?

Please reply to: archon@silvetree.org.  Thanks!
