Date: Thu, 15 Jan 1998 17:05:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19980115170506.13YAnHYPycgU90Sfch_x9CoP_sMiyZVIkGG2hckiN-w@z> (raw)
274x - that's the Vesa Local Bus controller. Is that right? If you meant
294x (PCI), then there is a glimmer of hope, in that I mounted a DOS
partition last night via a 2940UW controller. It'll be a time yet before
I ship.
Matrox Millenium - Matrox were not very forthcoming a time back, so "no
manual, no driver". I think they are more helpful now, so it needs
someone desperate enough to do the work. I'd go and buy a different
card...
The Plan 9 FTP site works for me.
In general though to install you need to build a new kernel, which
implies you have an already working machine. To this end I maintain a
nasty IDE drive in my machine to boot from.
