<P>
|
|
<P>Many people, including me, would like to run Linux on a PCI-based machine.
|
|
Since it is not obvious which PCI motherboards and PCI cards will work
|
|
with Linux and which do not, I conducted a survey and spent some hours
|
|
to compile the information contained herein. Most of this was done before 1997
|
|
and more uptodate technology might be covered in the device specific howtos
|
|
such as the XFree86, Xinerama, Networking and Hardware-HOWTO.
|
|
<P>If you have information to add, please mail me. If you have
|
|
questions, feel free to ask.
|
|
<P>Help with my style/grammar/language is welcome as well. I am not a native-
|
|
speaker of English and expect to make occasional mistakes.
|
|
<P>Note: "on-board chip" refers to a SCSI chip
|
|
integrated onto the motherboard rather than on a PCI expansion card.
|
|
<P>Also, "quotes" herein may have slight context editing.
