I'm in the enviable position of being about to buy a system specifically for
{386,net}bsd. I phoned up about an ad in Computer Shopper about a
motherboard for this beast, and being a cautious chap I enquired as to what
sort of motherboard it was. 'Dunno the make, but its made in Taiwan, and has
the SIS chipset'. So, will it work with bsd, or will it suffer from those
pesky cache invalidation bugs? The MB in question will be 486DX2-66 EISA.
BTW, I'm trying to put together a list of hardware that don't work with
{386,net}bsd to benefit those in just such a position as I, so if you've had
hardware problems, mail me. If mail to cyb!loodvrij@fredbox.cts.com bounces,
you can say loodvrij@fredbox.cts.com instead, it just means I have to forward
it to my box manually. I should be getting a properly registered domain of
me own soon anyhow.
