I was finally able to download FreeBSD and get it going by pulling the sound card and it's cable connection to a CD-rom drive. Now that my BSD system is alive and GREAT, I need to complete the configuration. There is: a tape drive [which I suspect is Colorado] who's cable is attached to the floppy output of an Ultrastor SCCSI card. a modem card with dip switches. a sound card with a cable to a CD-Rom drive a 3.5" and 5.25" floopy drive I believe all of the above came in the box configured by Gateway. I can't see any manufacturers names anywhere and my FreeBSD configure software is looking for some very detailed information about all of it. I've figured out the ultrastor sccsi and my 2 HD drives, the SMC ethernet card and the serial mouse. Any ideas on the others described above? Thanks in advance, --Jim Fox p.s. I've gotten all I can from \dos\msd.
