I'm considering buying a used Compaq Deskpro 386/25. I'll be using a Maxtor
XT4380E or Miniscribe 9380E with an as yet undetermined ESDI controller. Has
anyone run Linux or 386BSD on a similar platform? What sort of controller
would work best in this environment (don't say SCSI, I have a good deal on
the drive)? What sort of things should I be watching out for?
