Hello Hien,

We, that is Wim was, have been trying with a Storage
Dimensions scsi cards with a buslogic chipset, and various
flavours of new Linux-kernels.

Not with success, now we are waiting to ship in some
Buslogic 757C and 757CD cards to continue our search.

Robert Hyatt was of help as to point us to Ingo Molnar as
"the specialist" to consult.
At this point we're kind of stuck, in despair I went looking
for other OS like SCO Unix and Solaris, even BackOffice
is in the picture.
But what a shame to not be able to run Linux on this
ALR 4x133cpu...system.
And there are even better CPU modules to be had in the
overstock market, like 166mhz and Ppro.

I will keep you updated on our mission (not so
serious)......


Best regards Carel Hassink.
