I imagine that kudzu could support the PCI catweasel - although the card's PCI
ID is rather odd. According to the PCI database, it's a Tiger Networks ISDN
card.

It's used on a few other distros. I don't have it here - or, in fact, any
hardware detection system at all. But then I'm a masochist (Well, Debian
user. Actually, the next Debian release will have hardware detection.)

I don't think that's something I want to get into. Somebody else can do that
if they think it's necessary . . .

No. Unless you want to mount an FFS partition as a virtual disk rather than as
a hard file.

;-)
The cool extras for Amiga emulation purposes in the MkIII are the joystick
ports and a connector for an Amiga keyboard. (I've not tried the latter,
though.)

Better than me. I've got a Matrox G200 here. Since I'm not really into 3D
games, this card has served we well.

My PC's getting rather old and shabby too. I'm thinking about upgrading the
mobo, mainly because I need some more memory and I begrudge the prices
they're asking for SD-RAM DIMMs these days. :-( Well, no. That's how I'm
going to justify it to myself. I just want a new motherboard, dammit.
