Hi all,
I'm on the virge of upgrading. And I've got a couple of questions.
ASUS is the recommended (more or less) MB of FreeBSD. But I'm leaning
toward the Gigabyte 586HX (4PCI/4ISA and 6 Simm slots). The advantage the
ASUS P55T2P4 has is NCR SCSI bios and the mediaslot(maybe?).
1) I currently use a 1542B with EZ-SCSI software on Windows 95. I
need to be able to backup Windows as well as FreeBSD. I have a
HP 4mm drive, which works great. Does the SC200 (Symbios/NCR 810)
have and windows software?
2) What's the media slot buy me? I'm leary of proprietary slots, yes
I know it can be used as a regular PCI slot.
Lastly, AMD, Cyrix or Intel. I can get a AMD 5K86-P133 for $89. Man,
that's tempting.
Paul.
