I've got multiple devices on the SCSI bus (2 internal SCSI disks, one external SCSI disk, one external DAT) and 40 MBytes RAM. Everything works like a champ with the exception of an occassional hiccup on the SCSI bus. That seems to affect Linux and Windows 95 most seriously, FreeBSD less so. Overall, I'm very happy with the Micron and would highly recommend them. jeffry r. abramson http://poohbear.cvu.att.com/~jra/ at&t bell laboratories email: jeffry.abramson@att.com room 2k-054 480 red hill road phone: (908) 615-5340 middletown, nj 07748 facsimile: (908) 615-2672 -- jeffry r. abramson http://poohbear.cvu.att.com/~jra/ at&t bell laboratories email: jeffry.abramson@att.com room 2k-054 480 red hill road phone: (908) 615-5340 middletown, nj 07748 facsimile: (908) 615-2672
