  Could someone post what sort of buses are supported by 
either Net or 386 BSD?  Mainly does it support local buses?  
The FAQ says ISA/EISA are supported, but says nothing
about local buses.  Also, I'm going to be buying a system soon and
am debating between going for either a 16 Meg of Ram/66 MHz or
8/33MHz system (with a 245 or greater drive in both cases).  Which is
more important when running BSD & X-windows?

Thanks
John
