Two short (hopefully) easy questions: 1) Does anybody have Mach running on a 486 machine? Are there any known incompatibilities or should it work on most AT bus 486 machines, as long as the other published system specifications are met? 2) Can anyone give me the correct jumpering for a WD1007 ESDI board to make it work right with Mach? Should it be in translated mode (where it remaps the cylinder, head, and sector addresses to get the number of cylinders below 1024) or untranslated mode? Thanks in advance for any help on this.

I found no problems at all in doing so (other than a problem with the hard disk driver which was related more to the fact it was a SCSI drive than to the processor being a 486). I would expect that a AT bus 486 machine should probably work just fine, all other things being equal. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The above views are my own, not necessarily those of my employer.
