Any comments about >them? I never run BSD on a fujistsu, but I used to run a 2 line BBS with mail tosser & internet connection w/ OS/2 WARP3 on a 486dx4-133 w/ 28megs of ram without any problems at all. I had fbsd running on the 1.7g futjitsu for a while b4 i got this maxtor 4g back in the mail. I ran the hell outta a 540 & 1.7gig fujitsu for about 2 yrs a piece.. the 540 worked real good until i dropped it, then it wouldnt read the boot record, but would do everything else. --- doug reynolds | the maverick | mav@wastegate.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
