Date: 2 Mar 1993 03:42:19 GMT Organization: Centre for Information Science Research, ANU, Canberra, Australia Lines: 10 Sender: gustav@arp (Zdzislaw Meglicki) Distribution: world Message-ID: <1mul2rINNe0a@manuel.anu.edu.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: 150.203.20.14 I have just ordered a 486/EISA based system for our site planning to use it for 386bsd. I've been told that EISA is entirely upwardly compatible with ISA and that MSDOS runs on such systems without problems. Will 386bsd run on EISA without problems too? In particular will it recognise a 32 Bit Hard Disk Controller? -- Zdzislaw Gustav Meglicki, gustav@arp.anu.edu.au, Automated Reasoning Program - CISR, and Plasma Theory Group - RSPhysS, The Australian National University, G.P.O.
