the local news system)
======================================================================
I have scanned the FAQ I have and find I still need more information.
I am looking to replace a machine. The quote I have seems to be pretty
good except it has two items of which I am unsure. I intend to run NetBSD
on the machine (with a DOS/Windows partition on the side).
On both of these, please relate actual experience (I need to **KNOW** it
will work without pain and suffering). Second-hand "I've heard that such
and such will work with ..." is not strong enough to satiate my needs.
1. The quote is for a 486DX4 75MHz, 256K sram, 2VLB, 8 EISA slots. It
has a HOT 419 motherboard which runs the AMI BIOS. Has anyone used
the HOT 419 board with {Net,Free}BSD?
2. Does anyone have a suggested distributor for BusLogic SCSI
controllers?
3. Does anyone know a part number (and purchase location(s)) for the
newer Number 9 cards (S924 chip, I believe). Still needs to be a VLB tho.
Thanks!

PS. If anybody has a great source for the equipment listed above
(hard drives, CD-ROMs, tape backups (looking for Exabyte/other to
supplement ES5525 (I already own the 5525)), etc), I am interested in
phone numbers, prices (if you care to share them), dates purchases
were made, contact persons, etc.
Please remember to **EMAIL**, not post, responses. I will summarize for the
net, if asked.
