Well, I'm using a SOYO KT-333 DRAGON Lite, and it works fine (though the Lite doesn't have the RAID controller or the on-board ethernet like the Plus does, it's a solid board but the only "extra" is the shitty on-bard sound card. > motherboard, AsanteFast Ethernet and built-in motherboard ethernet card > (shows in Win2k Pro to be a VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet), as well as an > Asus V8200 graphics card with an Nvidia chip and an Epson C80 printer. I The ethernet should work (I don't think there's any non-supported ethernet cards that didn't come out of some random trial run or test batch for QA to pound on). > found on Linux Printing site that my printer should be supported and I > believe my Asante NIC is supported by Tulip drivers. Anyone out there > that can help? Tulip sounds right for the network card, failing that ne, ne2k or ne2k-pci should get you some half-assed support until you can the more optimized (read: right) module (sort of like how the equivilent Novell NE2000 driver works for damn near anything but 3Com cards in Windows). Printer I'm not sure on the specifics on, nor have I tried USB printers. If it's a parallel port or printer with it's own print server (the kind you plug in to a network), it's almost gauranteed to work in one form or another, if not perfectly, with fairly minimal effort. -- .''`.
