It's a 486DX-50 (NOT a DX/2) 0 wait states, EISA, Adaptec 1742 SCSI controller, 8.5ms 1.8G SCSI II disk with 512k cache, SiS chipset (very fast gate A20, for what it's worth), 16M RAM (got it lobotomized for a while). It's running (mostly) FreeBSD-current (I have to update again). Pity that Intel patent-squashed the AMD 486DX/2-100, or it'd be faster than that. Intel now owes me a release of an Intel 486DX/2-100, IMO. 8-(. Terry Lambert terry@cs.weber.edu --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
