- I just got linux running (from the SLS distirbution) on my
- local bus 486-50. When I purchased it from Zennon, they said that the
- IDE part of the controller doesn't work at that speed. So, in the
- local slot is an ET4000 VGA card. It works! I got X started last
- night, but haven't had time to play with it yet.
