What I hated was the onboard video that uses your system memory. Was working in a P-O-S Trigem (Classically known as a 'commercial generic' (i.e. CTX International)) the other day that was like that. My FreeBSD server has a 2mb STB in it.. But it's there because it was all I had on hand at the time... What really bugs me is my PII boards seem to require a video card.. What probably bugs me more is the fact that the PS/2 ports are inactive if I unplug the keyboard/mouse and try to insert one while the machine is still active. I guess something from PI Engineering can fix this problem though by leaving the ports active so I can hot swap. >Apparently, NetBSD will netboot on the thing.

I have a Powerbook 5300CS up the street that the owner may give me if I ask. It has a PPC 603E as well with 48/750. It's IDE as well. It would be an interesting project, although it is rumored that MKLinux won't even run on it because it lacks 'open firmware'. >Very, very nifty. Very nifty. If you had one, you'd out-geek the >rest of us for sure... anyone else have a wristwatch with 4M of RAM? I want a Seiko Kinetic watch.. So I saw this thing. Course I've got my own geek watch in a way. It's a Casio Databank 200 touch-screen. It gets some rather bizarre stares. I'm in Maine though, so people think it's bizarre I have a laptop and a palmtop on me during school. It's like "So I can play my Nintendo Emulator, mmm k?" The laptop DOES run FreeBSD, barely. --- Drew "Droobie" Baxter Network Admin/Professional Computer Nerd(TM) OneEX: The OneNetwork Exchange, Bangor Maine USA http://www.droo.orland.me.us PGP ID: 409A1F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
