Agreed. I've still got a GUS in one of my museum pieces that runs MS-Win 3.1 by default. The BIOS is too old to support booting from anything except hda, sda and floppy, but because I enjoy pain I'll be happy to modify the startup floppy images for a 2.6.X-based live CD distro (DSL, anyone?) and give the new drivers a spin when they're ready for testing. The motherboard is a curiosity: it has ISA, PCI, *and* VLB slots. The processor is an AMD 5x86 (think 486 on steroids). I *might* have 32 MB of RAM to work with: I simply don't remember :-). -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Tracy WTO + WIPO = DMCA? http://www.anti-dmca.org rct@frus.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
