The machine is a 486dx4-100, VESA local bus, 8 megs, 850 meg conner drive, SMC Ether card, and an ATAPI IDE CD-ROM (Samsung QuadSpeed). The CD-ROM is jumpered as a slave and it worked great (it was also only about $110) with the alpha ATAPI driver. I did a few kernel rebuilds to remove the unnecessary drivers. I had a few problems trying to figure out the ifconfig alias, but got it working eventually. In almost no time I had it as the new replacement web server. Dru dnelson@symnet.net
