Message-ID: <paigenD1yMBK.B96@netcom.com> Organization: Forte Computer Systems, Brisbane CA Date: Fri, 6 Jan 1995 01:18:56 GMT Lines: 21 Eric Raymond used to publish a guide to buying PC hardware for unix. Is he still doing this? Does anyone have a recent copy that they could send me? Two other HW questions. I looked in the FAQ, but the answers were unclear to me. 1) Does FreeBSD support Trident 8900 svga cards? 2) FreeBSD supports SCSI based CD-ROM. Fine. Any SCSI CDROM? Or only some? What is this business with the Mitsumi (sp?)? Is that special in some way? Also, does the speed of the drive matter? 2X? 3X, 4X?
