.Nx \*V
|
|
runs on ISA (AT-Bus), EISA, PCI, and VL-bus systems
|
|
with 386-family processors, with or without math coprocessors. It
|
|
does NOT support MCA systems, such as some IBM PS/2 systems. The
|
|
minimal configuration is said to require 4M of RAM and 50M of disk
|
|
space, though we do not know of anyone running with a system quite
|
|
this minimal today. To install the entire system requires much more
|
|
disk space (the unpacked binary distribution, without sources,
|
|
requires at least 65M without counting space needed for swap space,
|
|
etc), and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended.
|
|
(4M of RAM will actually allow you to run X and/or compile, but it
|
|
won't be speedy. Note that until you have around 16M of RAM, getting
|
|
more RAM is more important than getting a faster CPU.)
|
|
|
|
Supported devices include:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
Floppy controllers.
|
|
MFM, ESDI, IDE, and RLL hard disk controllers.
|
|
There is complete support (including IDE DMA or Ultra-
|
|
DMA) for the following PCI controllers:
|
|
- Acer labs M5229 IDE Controller
|
|
- CMD Tech PCI0643 and PCI0646 IDE Controllers
|
|
- Contaq Microsystems/Cypress CY82C693 IDE Controller
|
|
- Intel PIIX, PIIX3 and PIIX4 IDE Controllers
|
|
- Silicon Integrated System 5597/5598 IDE controller
|
|
- VIA Technologies VT82C586 and VT82C586A IDE Controllers
|
|
Most of these controllers are only available in
|
|
multifunction PCI chips.
|
|
Other PCI IDE controllers are supported, but
|
|
performances may not be optimal.
|
|
ISA, ISA plug and play and PCMCIA IDE controllers
|
|
are supported as well.

|
|
motherboards using this chip are likely to be

bootable, consequently.)

Drivers for hardware marked with "[*]" are NOT present in kernels on the
|
|
distribution floppies. Except as noted above, all drivers are present
|
|
on all disks. Also, at the present time, the distributed kernels
|
|
support only one SCSI host adapter per machine.
|
|
.Nx
|
|
normally
|
|
allows more, though, so if you have more than one, you can use all of
|
|
them by compiling a custom kernel once
|
|
.Nx
|
|
is installed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Support for devices marked with "[+]" IS included in the "generic" kernels,
|
|
although it is not in the kernels which are on the distribution floppies.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Support for devices marked with "[b]" requires BIOS support for PCI-PCI
|
|
bridging on your motherboard. Most reasonably modern Pentium motherboards
|
|
have this support, or can acquire it via a BIOS upgrade.

about:

AMD PCscsi SCSI host adapters (though the PCnet portion of the PCnet-SCSI works fine)
|

PCI WD-7000 SCSI host adapters.

We are planning future support for many of these devices.
