Good God. If you can't handle a 90mhz pentium box
then you need another
line of work.
Be kind the box is easy it's making winders run that is the real majik.
;)
Don't laugh I have two P90s and P100-S at work as regular line system!
I find the older boxes easy to work with but... Sometimes when you
need data like is the ram FPM or EDO the book (or vendor support)
can save a lot of grief and time. Also some of the boards have no
markings as to what jumper does what.

Oh, Windows ugh.. The 133 I've got's running Apache on FreeBSd as the
dept. webserver.
Anyway... It did run Win95 on it until I gave it the BSD exorcism.

True. True. Windows is actually more difficult than other operating
systems. I admit to being more violent in my speach than other times but
-- no guts not glory.
I don't even know what this fool wanted to do given his message. I
suspect he is gone until he gets another 10 years or so behind the stick.
If ever. Making a 90mhz p54 machine run what you want is not the focus of
this group of mini-C addicts I'm sure.

Sure. I've a slew of substandard boxes doing real jobs. If this message
had said 'I want to do wonders with an 88k Aviion box, there would have
been a better response and some real respect.

I doubt this fellow really understand his own nvram. Enable external
cache? What is that?

Whoa !! While many on this list are Dec-centric and Mini
enthusiasts, this is not a MINI mailing list. Read the m-l faq and
look at the archives. This would be a better response in a MINI
news-group or m-l, which TMK this is not. While many of us like
myself and others I suspect, indulgantly skip the PDP and Vax
msgs and search out classic micro info. Neither is it the reserve of
highly knowledgeable computer techs or sys-adms.
You may have a valid objection under the 10 yr rule but your
response was less than gracious and unneeded. You could
have simply ignored the msg. like the ocasional spam that gets
thru. KUDOs BTW to the m-l hosts. None for a long time.

observant beloved ??
We have lost some valuable participents to similiar BS
Kai ?(the M-S employed engineer) and the aussie springs to mind
(but not his name), not to mention the opinionated but very
knowledgeable former Tandy employee and collector Ward Griffith.
Take a bluee (valium to those drug-knowledge impaired) .

New subject: Sorry... (was Re: <help!> Need help with HP Vectra)
Whew! I was in a mean mood the other day. Sorry I was so scathing.
I'll try and keep a more civil toungue in the future....
