G'day.
I am looking at installing either 386bsd or linux on a machine at home.
What I need to know, is if either system supports localbus.
I will purchase a 17" monitor, and thought about getting a Vesa Sirrus Logic
Systems Localbus video card.
Anybody running with localbus *anything* ? It wasn't mentioned in the
386bsd hardware list.
Do I just stick with a "normal" (Trident or Tseng) video card ?
Thanx - gjn
