SCSI:

The on-board Qlogic UW-SCSI chip supports up to 4 internal devices. There is

no external connector for the on-board SCSI.
|

|

Memory:
|

For 500 MHz CPUs 83 MHz DIMMs will do. Compaq specifies PC100 DIMMs for
|

all CPU speeds. DIMMs are installed in sets of 4, starting with the
|

DIMM slots marked '0'. Memory capacity is max 4 Gb.
|

DIMMs are installed 'physically interleaved', note the markings of the

slots. Memory bandwidth of Monet is twice that of Webbrick. The DIMMs live
|

on the CPU daughter-card. Note that the system uses ECC RAM so you need DIMMs

with 72 bits (not the PC-class 64 bit DIMMs)

Is usable / bootable for system disk so &os; can be rooted on an EIDE

the SRM variable "usb_enable" is set to "on". You can change this by

performing: "set usb_enable on" at the SRM >>> prompt.
|

|

Expansion caveats:
|
||||
- Don't try to use Symbios-chip based SCSI adapters in the PCI slots
|

connected to hose 1. There is a not-yet-found &os; bug that prevents this
|
||||
from working correctly.
|
||||
- Not all VGA cards will work behind the PCI-PCI bridge (so in slots 4 & 5).
|

Only cards that implement VGA-legacy addressing correctly will work. Workaround

is to put the VGA card 'before' the bridge.

Expansion caveats:
|
||||
- Don't try to use Symbios-chip based SCSI adapters in the PCI slots
|
||||
connected to hose 1. There is a not-yet-found &os; bug that prevents this
|
||||
from working correctly.
|
||||
- Not all VGA cards will work behind the PCI-PCI bridge (so in slots 4 & 5).
|
||||
Only cards that implement VGA-legacy addressing correctly will work. Workaround
|
||||
is to put the VGA card 'before' the bridge.
|
||||
|
||||
Sound:
|

The sound chip is not currently supported with &os;. There is work in

progress in this area.

The kernel config file must contain:

Contrary to expectation there is no 'cpu EV6' defined for inclusion in the
