Yes, 386BSD 0.1 is running beautifully on mine right now.  I have:

	ALR BusinessVEISA 386/33 w/64k CachePack
	5MB RAM (including the 1MB soldered to the motherboard)
	2 100MB Conner IDE hard drives (386BSD gets all of one)
	ATI VGA Basic and ATI 8514/Ultra
	Western Digital 8013EBT Ethernet Adapter
	Logitech Bus Mouse
	CH Game Card

I also have all the performance features _enabled_ except for TurboBus
mode (my mouse card doesn't like it).  BSD runs without a hitch--I'm
most happy with it.
