OK. Sounds like a plan.
Hardware:
Abit K7T Motherboard
Athlon 950
128 MB RAM PC133
Adaptec AIC7xxx (forget the actual part number) SCSI card
Yamaha CD-RW 6416, SCSI (the only device attached to the SCSI card)
Generic 50x CD-ROM (/dev/hdd)
IBM 13.5 GB 7200 RPM ATA100 HD (/dev/hda)
Maxtor 20.4 GB 7200 RPM ATA100 HD (/dev/hdb)
W-D 2.4 GB (/dev/hdc - only contains swap partition and a backup of virgin
eD2.4).
Matrox G400 dual head video card (not using dual head feature)
Soundblaster Live! sound card (currently not working, but was before I
replaced my motherboard -- old mobo Tyan S1598, socket 7 with a K6)
Software:
X4.1.0 with opengl working (currently have without opengl stuff)
KDE 2.2 (will eventually compile it from SRPMs, currently running 2.1.1)
xcdroast and/or Gcombust (currently working - latest versions of each)
snd (currently working - just don't know how to use it very well...)
gramophile (currently working)
Mozilla (currently 0.9.3 is working)
GnuCash (old version working - don't think I have what's need to compile the
new version)
That's pretty much it, I suppose. Let me know if you need more detail on
anything.
Regards,
Tim
