I have:
486DX/33 w/16MB, case, PS, 1.44MB
ATI Graphics Ultra Pro w/2MB
420MB IDE w/controller
Keyboard
MS or Logitech mouse
MediaVision PAS 16 (not supported by NetBSD)
3c507 or 3c509
NetBSD v1.0BETA
No monitor
I am willing to "loan" this equipment to Id Software for the
1-2 months required to port Doom to NetBSD (and FreeBSD)
I would like to see PAS-16 support in NetBSD though, as without
it Doom wouldn't be quite as nice.
I actually have 2 PAS-16's so if sending one to a NetBSD core team
member would get a driver written... just say the word.
What I would expect in return..
My equipment back without any damage... :-)
A free copy of Doom/X (couple of "episodes?")
Maybe a free copy of the FreeBSD v2.0 CD-ROM if my box is
used to develop the FreeBSD version.. (?)
Well? What does anyone think?
