I got curious and pulled a toshiba XM-3301b off a sparcstation at work, stuck it on my 486 w/ 1542b, and it worked just fine.

I have not tested it a whole lot, since I didn't have too much time, but it seemed to work just fine. > More generally, lots of people seem to have been collected information >about 386BSD-compatible hardware but I haven't seen any posted lists.
