They told me to ask on the net since he didn't has the list handy. So here it goes:- Intel 486DX2-66 Gigabyte m/b with Award bios and SIS chipset 256K cache and 16MB main Boca multi-io card (8 bit) with 16550 ATI Graphic Turbo with 2MB VRAM (Mach64 chipset, VL bus version) Adaptec 2842VL SCSI host (AIC7770 chipset, VL bus version) Other than the graphic card and SCSI host, the rest are quite standard, but I want to be sure FreeBSD 2.0 will support the Mach64 and AIC7770, and I like to hear from people who has actually used it, not just according to the spec. Thanks in advance.
