Two of which are now running BSDI. I have had no problems getting them working with BSD, and little to know problems with SCO's Unixware 2.0x. I have had some problems with the Adaptec and NT 3.51 when using a 3Com 100BT card. But we were able to resolve those problems too (updated drivers). We are running BSD on a Tyan Tomcat Dual Pentium 166 (single processor mode) with 128 Megs of RAM. It is using a 16bit Ether Express and a Number Nine PCI Vision330 (it might be a motion330??). It has been running great for us. Sorry this isn't much help, but we are using it sucessfully...
