I've got a Compaq Prolinea MT4/66, but I have disabled IDE and I use an Adaptec 1542C card. It's the best machine I have had, and runs perfectly (no problems yet) FreeBSD (2.0.5 and 2.1R) and Plan 9. I also tried Linux. (which also worked) From the previous list, the only system I tried with IDE is Linux. (Slackware 2.2). (A machine for a friend). I installed the systems without worrying about the hardware and without any problems. Anyway, FreeBSD will work much better with a bus master SCSI card.
