- I am confused about the status of drivers for X386 running under
- 386BSD. From what I have read, it appears that the only support
- currently available is for Tseng ET 4000 based video cards and clearly
- S3 support is not available yet. What about ATI? And does "local bus"
- effect compatibility?
-
- I am going to purchase a 486 very soon and am trying to sort out all
- of my hardware/OS options. As a former mac user/owner I am not used to
- so many degrees of freedom . . .
