I suppose this should probably be moved to -chat.....

Oh, that it is! (Still doesn't mean the hardware is good. :) )
I found a 5.25" floppy the other day labeled "FreeBSD CPIO", and it got me
thing about what version it actually was when I first loaded FreeBSD on an
old MFM hard disk. It was a slightly old version, just after another was
released, and I remember being so impressed with it that I went out the
next day and bought a shiny new IDE disk to make a dedicated FreeBSD box,
as I knew instantly that evening that I'd be running this OS permanently.
It now accounts for nearly every one of my boxen. :)
Maybe I'll go dig up an MFM controller and my pile of ancient disks. I
think I know which one it was on even (I think it is an an 80 meg full
height Micropolis).... it's probably still on there. :)
Later...... <Doug>
