Hi all,

I am itching to try out Plan 9. I have two questions.

1) The disk I want to put it on is hooked to a Maxtor Ultra ATA/100
controller. In linux, this card is supported by the Promise PDC202xx driver.
I notice on the supported hardware page that a Promise PDC20262 driver
exists. Will this work with my card? I have downloaded the install disk to
try it out, and this disk doesn't show up. Is this because it's an
unsupported card, or because I have chosen the wrong options when creating
the install disk?

2) My video card is an NVidia GeForce 2. It's not listed as explicitly
supported or unsupported. Will this work with one of the other NVidia
drivers? When I ran the install, I got a graphics screen, but that could
just have been a VGA or VESA screen. Any hints?

Thanks!
