I have one of these machines from NCR (system 3350), and it is the very best machine for a network server, but I do not want it to run Novell Netware or Windows NT or the like. Is any of the free BSD branches capable to play with these MCA machines? No matter, whether NetBSD or FreeBSD or OpenBSD, all these systems are welcome. I would give even Linux a try, but only as a last resort. The machine I have in mind to support is equipped with an on-board SCSI controller (NCR 53C94) and an Adaptec AHA1640. Many Thanks in advance -cr -- Christoph Rimek, Kiel, Germany (+49 431 57601) chrimek@toppoint.de
