Since I am waiting some testing results from the 386bsd developers and hoping to get some help from other netters, I kept following this group VERY closely. >From the articles posted to the net, I found (a wild one?) that there is one common hardware component that was mentioned in almost every atticle. That is, the OPTI chip set (or AMI bios made for Magitronic). Thus, I'll like to conduct a survey about this questionable motherboard. Please, if you have OPTI chip set or see a msg like AMI bios for Magitronic, drop me a line if you have or have not successfully booted 386BSD-0.1 up? I'll post a summary in a week. Thanks! Please email your msg to jlu@cs.umr.edu. -- ***************************************--- Grad. student ---* * Obviousness is always the enemy of * \ Jui-Lin Lu (Eric) / * * correctness. -- Bertrand Russell * / jlu@cs.umr.edu \ * ***************************************--- Univ. of Missouri-Rolla ---*
