ME TOO
</AOL>
So, for the record, I have also not used the hpt366 ever -- I just did
upgrade my motherboard and had the old linux installation on the harddisks,
so I wanted to boot first and fix it later. Then I ran into the lockups, and
decided to find the reason for them before throwing more water to the soup.
So I never got around trying the hpt366, though I do have a couple IBM dma66
disks.
Maybe I should try it sometime, but I kinda dont want to mess up with it now
that this is stable. (QQ_02, 380MB ram, Matrox G400, Tulip ethernet card,
ES1371 soundcard, USB keyboard (I fried the PS/2 chip with a glass of water
on the ps/2 keyboard, eeks) etc.
Seems to be pretty ok. Though I know this thing goes to its knees if I run
out of virtual memory - and doesnt seem to know how to get back up.
The high wattage powersupply blew up btw, and the old original Enlight one
drives the thing just as fine, so it probably is not related to the voltage
(depends highly on the amount of stuff you have in the box though - though I
also have a CDRom, IDE CD-RW, 2 harddisks etc.)
Cheers,
Tuomas
