Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hiya folks, Done my poking around on the webiste and the archives and wanted to make sure the following hardware (pieces) are supported before I lay down any money :). If anyone is already using this board successfully and wouldn't mind saying so I'd appreciate any tips you might have. I'm looking at buying the Advantech PCM-5820-E0A1 board and it has the following bits on it: NS GXM-233 MHz processor - this, I think, is a Cyrix processor, but the info I can find anywhere is very limited. NS CX5530 chipset for video (CRT and TFT) - this is not a chipset per se', it an emulated chipset. No info in the list archives. I assume video is video, but ... Realtek RTL8139 ethernet - it looks like this is supported. NS CX 5530 chipset for audio w/ support for AC97 PCI surround - see above under video, it's an emulated chipset using a codec and BIOS according to the list archives, but as of July 99 it wasn't supported. So y'all have a better idea what I want to do with this, it's for a car audio MP3 player. See for more info. The original player was built under Linux, but I thought I'd give it a try under FBSD.
