Howdy, I have the FreeBSD 2.1.5 from Walnut Creek with book and 2 CD's, and in the book (yes I actually read them) it mentions that Parity is a good thing to have. I'm having a heck of a time finding a mother board that has parity. I found an ASUS Pentium Pro board, but nobody in the US stocks them,. or will order one for me. Having worked with hardware for a long time, I find it unthinkable that people would want to buy a system with no data protection. So the queston is: What kind of issues should I be looking for when running this on a K6 without parity? Or should I just run it on my DX100 and leave the power box for the workstations? I probably should be monitoring some newsgroups, but my time seems to be limited enough that I barely have time to deal with just the email. So I would prefer that you all send me your thots direct: to brucek@pacifier.com Thanx, -bk
