I've got what might make a dandy little terminal system sitting under my
desk right now, and I'm wondering if the video chipset might be fully
supported. It is BCM "SL5598" (SiS 5598 LPX), and since I noted that
the SiS chipset on some AMI boards were supported, I thought that maybe,
just maybe, the builtin vga might be well supported... Right now I can't
get the silly thing to boot off a floppy, but... Oh well...

In any case, I've finally got my ATI card, and I'm eager to try it out.
The install docs weren't kidding when they said it would take hours to
install the CD-ROM... Since the install docs were not very new, and I'm
using a 24x cd-rom on a secondary controller, writing to a disk on the
primary controller, I thought it might be faster! :-)
