I'm interested in getting a 486 system that will run UNIX,
and having full source to my operating system would be
cool. :) So, can someone please tell me (or point me to a FAQ)
if the following hardware is compatible with BSD386 or Linux,
and if it isn't suggest alternate hardware that will work?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Premio 486DX33 Local Bus Computer System
- 3 VESA Local Bus Slots
- 8 MB RAM
- 1.44 and 1.2 floppies with controller
- Diamond Speedstar Pro 1 MB Local Bus Video Card and 15" monitor
- DTK 3 button mouse
- Future Domain SCSI 2 Controller Card with a 248 MB HD and a 852
MB HD
- Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum Multimedia Kit
(includes Sound Card, NEC SCSI CD-ROM[300ms], and software)
Also, if it does support this (or other) hardware, what resolution
can I expect from X (is it configurable?). Anyway, thank you
for any help.
Steve
