Tom,

I have FreeBSD5 running on a quad 200 2100. It went on with no hitches at
all. I did, however, have problems building a more specialized kernel, but
that was probably more my screw-up than anything else. I can e-mail you
images of the ECU disks and the Mylex RAID configuration software as soon as
I dig them up. They are for a 2100, but you can give them a try.

Bill- if you get no other takers, let's talk about some parts- especially
the RAM board(s), and maybe the CPU boards.
