Interesting! That's the first Pentium motherboard 
I could take serious after quite some time ... 
(Didn't like the Triton because of it's lack of 
parity, but ECC is a lot nicer :-)

} New MB:
} chip0 <generic PCI bridge (vendor=8086 device=1250 subclass=0)> rev 1 on pci0:0

} pci0:7: Intel Corporation, device=0x7010, class=storage (ide) [no driver assigned]
} 
}     vs.

} Old MB:
} chip0 <Intel 82437 (Triton) PCI cache memory controller> rev 2 on pci0:0

} pci0:7: Intel Corporation, device=0x1230, class=storage (ide) [no driver assigned]

I'll have to look up the correct chip set designations
on the Intel web server. Seems the IDE controller is 
part of the ISA (or EISA ?) bus bridge again ...

} None so far.  My plans, however, are to eventually install this MB
} in my fileserver system which is running 2.1-stable.  Hopefully it
} will work ok there as well.

Guess it will. FreeBSD ignores it except in the PCI bus 
probe phase. If some devices are not correctly detected, 
then I'll have to look into this ...
