I don't know about the ProSignia. So far I haven't been able to get 386BSD to work FAST-SCSI-2 on a Compaq 486/50 XL, but am still trying. My problem is that the SCSI-2 controller can't be configured as a primary controller (yet), so you can't boot off it. I think I will be able to use the floppy boot from ref.tfs.com to specify the SCSI device to boot from. Meanwhile, my system will definitely run 386BSD SCSI with an Adaptec 1542B controller thrown in it. -- Greg Hackney hackney@compaq.com Disclaimer: These are my personal views & not necessarily Compaq's. -- Signature line 1 Signature line 2 Signature line 3 Signature line 4 Signature line 5 Signature line 6 Signature line 7 Signature line 8
