I am at present running FreeBSD on an old 486 and have been very happy with the operating system and have a strong desire to keep using and running this environment so if you will let me know where you stand on USB I will get the appropriate equipment so that I can keep running FreeBSD. Best Regards Donald A. Spurgeon P.S. My email address is don@atmos.washingtone.edu
