It seems as though neither are supported. Can you confirm this and let me know what my options are. During the install I see that the 2.2.5 recognizes the NCR controller but can't seem to do any thing with it. Will I need to buy a 2742 or a bus logic and an ethernet card? In the future I plan to use the CPQArray EISA controller for hardware RAID 5, will this be supported? One more question, will 2.2.5 see dual or quad processors, currently 486DX-50s, and I am assuming any 32 bit OS, 2.2.5 included, will see all 512mb of RAM, is this a fair assumption?
