I checked the FAQ, so I hope I don't get flamed for this.
Are there any known problems with running 386BSD using local bus
adapters? Specifically the local bus versions of ATI video controllers
or Adaptec SCSI controllers.
If there are no known problems, is local bus worth the extra money?
The system I am considering is the Gateway 486DX-33 or 486DX2-66.
