A client bought two Dell boxes, a P133C and a P166C, before we could check
for compatibility with BSDI 2.1.  I've checked the web page and the IDE
CD-ROM's probably won't work, but I'm unsure about the rest.  Here are the
configs:

P133C                     P166C
Win95,Office95Pro         Win95,Office95Pro    (to be nuked! Yay!)
#9FX Motion Video         #9FX Motion Video
Creative Labs Vibra16     Creative Labs Awe32
Logitech Mouse            Logitech Mouse
NEC 272 IDE CD-ROM        TEAC 6X IDE CD-ROM   (not apparently supported)
16 MB memory              32 MB memory
2.111 Gb disk             2.111 Gb disk

Problem is, they want a proposal by tomorrow, so we need to know what to
replace with compatible hardware asap.

Thanx for your help.
