Well, not necessarily a new way.. beside me I have an Amiga 2000 with a Bridgeboard in it; a 286 on a card, complete with IDE, floppy, and video controllers, and three ISA slots. The copyright on the board reads 1987. I seem to recall the availability of other platform-on-a card setups, too. I've seen sunos/sparc running on a card in a PC, and I've seen ads for an rs6000 running S/390 on a card too. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
