currently have a 486sx33 with and IDE 120megHD. I really have no idea what
video card the monster has. I read the FAQ, but it only served to confuse me.
will any version of *BSD work with my IDE drive? Or must I purchase a SCSI
device? And what of my floppy and CD-rom drives? Must they be more scsi-
specific? I installed NetBSD at one point and was instructed that all
devices must be controlled via SCSI protos?
If someone would mail me a respose to this, I would be very thankfull.
