The machine is a Gateway 2000 DX2 66V, the V means VESA local bus. I think it
has an IDE controller on the system board, which may control the floppies,
but I am not using it for the hard disk. It has an Ultrastor 14f SCSI
controller and 1.2 GB SCSI drive and a SCSI CDROM. It has the 2 serial/
2 parallel port card it came with, and an ATI graphics ultra pro video
card. I put in an ethernet card, its an Intel, I think it's called an
EtherExpress 16 or something like that. It's the card that came with the
Windows for workgroups 3.1 upgrade kit. That card is software configuable,
but was configured to not conflict before. I think it stores the config in
EEPROM, so it should subsequently come up in the same config when powered
on, but I am not sure.
