The types of things I need to know are: : Support for adaptec 1520 scsi controller? The 1520 is currently unsupported. I've heard that some people are working on it but have yet to see anything non-vapor. ;) The 154[0,2][A,B,C,CF] are supported. : Is 8 megs of ram enough? 8 meg is fine. With 1.1 Beta even 4MB is quite usable. : Support for NE2000 ethernet cards? They work fine though SMC 80x3 cards are faster. : Minimum drive space required? Depends, for full bins, src, and X plus some of your own ported software favorites about 200 MB. For just binaries 80-120 MB.
