Hi I am about to setup a new system for running both Win 3.1 and X11
1st Priority is X11R5, not win 3.1
I now have
486-33 with 4Meg of ram
1 IDE 105 Drive with regular controller
1 86Meg Seagate SCSI Drive.
1 1.44 floppy drive
1 Nec 3D monitor
1 Viva 9600 with V42 & V32
I need a new SCSI Controller: (As cheaply as possible :-))
After reading all the message, I see that the standard for 386bsd is
Adaptec controller.
Please tell me which model is the best and is there a good and cheap
brand and model substitution :-)
Should I setup to boot from the SCSI or IDE?? Can I run both
386BSD and DOS? :-)
I need a new SVGA card :-)
I know it must be ET4000, with 1 meg of Vram & RAMDAC??
Please give me some brand and model as to which on is the best at
the least $ :-) Oh, I want HiColor the 32K too :_)
Orchid PD IIs (1meg)??
or Diamond Speedstar (1meg)?? :_)) Anyother choices?
Thanks alottttttsss
I'll have to bug all after I have the hardware :-))
