I've posted my problems and got responses that gave me some suggestions(Thank you) but with no solution. Others have said that maybe i have incompatable hardware so changing my drive seems to be the next logical step. Anybody like to make some suggestions on what to buy that they know works. I have a 486sx system with an ISA bus. By the way, What do you think the chances are that FreeBSD just won't work with my mother board, does the type of bios or chipset matter? Thank you -- *********************************************************** *Ron Porter porter@chem.wisc.edu * *Univ.
