Hi, I'm thinking about building a 25 MHZ 486 EISA system with 8 MB of memory. I plan to use either a Mylex or AMI motherboard. I'm also thinking about using an Adaptec 1542B SCSI adapter with a 200 MB Maxtor drive and some sort of SVGA adapter, maybe the Diamond SPEEDSTAR+ card. My questions is does anyone out there have any experience with this configuration and/or has run MINIX on an EISA system. I want to know if there are any problems or good experiences with this proposed configuration with or without minix. Sorry if this is an old question but I'm new to this group.

Extremely favorable reviews have been published wrt Mylex 486 EISA motherboard combined with the mylex SCSI controller. That's what I would get if I were building my own machine right now. -- David Feustel, 1930 Curdes Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46805, (219) 482-9631 EMAIL: feustel@netcom.com or feustel@cvax.ipfw.indiana.edu
