I have done some preliminary testing with the AMD K6-2 300MHz chip and the
TMC TI5VG+ ATX motherboard for FreeBSD... Looks solid. There aren't too
many motherboards with 5 PCI slots. The temperature monitor is very
interesting because the AMD K6-2 runs much cooler in FreeBSD than Windows
95. The motherboard also monitors the system temperature, but none of
this is accessible in FreeBSD.
The only drawback to the motherboard is the lack of a NCR SCSI BIOS.
Is there a trick to boot a SCSI drive without the NCR bios?
Here's the initial boot message if anyone is interested...
