Message-ID: <20010810085449.A22779@beavis.ybsoft.com> Reply-To: rbradetich@uswest.net References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii In-Reply-To: From: rbrad@beavis.ybsoft.com (Ryan Bradetich) List-ID: Jurriaan, I use a C200+ as my development machine for the parisc-linux port. So yes, I try to keep the C200+ supported. Be forwarned that I am newbie kernel hacker, and sometimes it takes me a long time to find/fix the problems on these machines (ie. the ccio cpio cdrom -> disk HPMC). I have only been using the serial console interface from the C200+ so I'm not sure how well (or if the STI works on this machine). Now that I found/fixed the HPMC I was looking for, I will see if I can give it a whirl with the 0.9.2 installer tonight. The machine will run fine with 512 MB memory / 9 GB disk. I started using the C200 with 256 MB memory / 4GB disk and it worked great for what I was doing. Hope this helps! - Ryan On Fri, Aug 10, 2001 at 10:10:31AM +0200, Jurriaan Kalkman wrote: > I'm tempted to buy a HP C200+ (PA8200/512 Mb/9 Gb/Visualize fx-4). > > From the website, it would seem that it is, except for the graphics-card > (Visualize FX-4) for which there is no framebuffer support. > > Does this mean I only get the console (80x25) or is there also X? > > In general, does such a machine run linux acceptable (with 512 Mb memory / 9 Gb disk) ? > > All (off-list) experiences are very welcome! > > Thanks, > Jurriaan > > > > _______________________________________________ > parisc-linux mailing list > parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org > http://lists.parisc-linux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux > --
