Hi, I am building up 2 machines that will be used for educational purposes. These machines will be using removable hardrive trays so that they can be used to learn multiple OS's. The freebsd version I was going to be using was 3.2 / 4.4 Lite Based. Please review my hardware list to tell me if there are any potential hardware compatability issues. Motherboard - Asus CUSL2-C with Pentium III 1.0 Ghz Hardrive - IBM 75 GXP or 60 GXP series ATA/100 drives (Are there any UDMA issues here?) Sound Card - Sound Blaster PCI 64 (Already have this card) (Would a sound blaster PCI 16 work better?) Network - 3Com 905b-TX (I know this card will work) Keyboard - Standard Generic 104 keyboard Mouse - Logitech Optical Wheel Mouse (Using only the PS/2 port. Not worried about bundled software, just hardware) Video - Matrox G400 single head 16mb CD/DVD-ROM - Toshiba 12x IDE DVD-ROM (Mainly used for the CD-ROM function) Monitor - Probably a new Viewsonic 17" or 19" Any advice you can give on this hardware and any other hardware would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a whole bunch, Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
