I have a friend who has this ancient system onto which I'd like to install
RHL6.1.
The HDDs should be easy, the modem seems to be a standard internal (no
markings on it, so I'm hopin'...), and the sounds card is a Creative Labs Sound
Blaster. All that should go fine.
The CD-ROM drive is a Sony CDU33a-01, which is reported to be supported in the
CD-ROM howto. However, I cannot identify the controller card to which it is
attached. It's a small card with connectors for Sony, Mitsumi, and Panasonic,
and the chips on the card (as well as the label on the DOS driver diskette
(IIRC)) say "Sun Moon Star". There is a connector on the sound card that I
*could* use, but I don't know if that would be any better or not...
If anyone has any helpful information (even if it's just where to look to read
the info), I'd be quite grateful. Not only that, but I might be able to
recruit another Linuxer!!

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to. It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
