Anyone has a running system with >it? I haven't used a Giga-Byte board before, but the 7880 chipset is supported with 2.1R (I have the 2940U and have installed 2.1 on it). BTW, get CURRENT or STABLE for more stable SCSI support vs RELEASE. the SNAP you mention has VM problems (if I recall correctly). I have installed 2.1 on a UW as well. No problems. -- --- Ken Lam lam@awod.com Integrated Technical Systems Systems, Networks, and Internet Solutions -- Defining Technology Today "'Plug and Play' was only applicable to the original ATARI(tm)"
