I suppose this should probably be moved to -chat.....

(Still doesn't mean the hardware is good. :) ) I found a 5.25" floppy the other day labeled "FreeBSD CPIO", and it got me thing about what version it actually was when I first loaded FreeBSD on an old MFM hard disk. It was a slightly old version, just after another was released, and I remember being so impressed with it that I went out the next day and bought a shiny new IDE disk to make a dedicated FreeBSD box, as I knew instantly that evening that I'd be running this OS permanently. It now accounts for nearly every one of my boxen. :) Maybe I'll go dig up an MFM controller and my pile of ancient disks. I think I know which one it was on even (I think it is an an 80 meg full height Micropolis).... it's probably still on there. :) Later...... <Doug>
