JH> Do you have manual for that board yet?

No,  I don't.  That's why I was asking Matt about where he dug up the info
for me that time,  I guess maybe I oughta research it a bit...

JH> Best be careful, since a lot of boards which support Intel chips

!

That's all I need,  is to get something and put it in there and have it not work...

I'll have to look into this.

JH> Same with AGP video cards - - no use to get a 4X AGP vidcard and 
JH> try to put it in a board which will only support 1x or 2x.

The guy at the local used junk store said something to that effect,  too.

RJT> But first I've gotta get this scanner working,  which he found for me
RJT> for only $10.  I'm going to use this AHA-1540 card that I found in a
RJT> pizza box  and which Wayne was kind enough to find jumper settings
RJT> on a while back.

That's working,  had more trouble on the software end but I out-stubborned it...

JH> Hee.  Since your travelling entourage would only allow you to take 
JH> back a "pizza box" full of junque,  its a good thing I had a big 
JH> one on hand. Was nice of Nancy to relent and let you hide that 400W
JH> power supply under the seat.  I figured if I brought it and waved 
JH> it at you, you'd want it, and I guess the look on your face caused
JH> her to have mercy. [:-D.

Heh.  I still haven't done anything with that yet,  though both this box
and the primary linux box use that form factor.  Both are now on 24/7,  so
I guess it's just a matter of seeing which one's gonna go first.  :-)

Let me look at that MB...    Looks like it says "Intel Type AL440LX on
the sticker.  Know where I'd look for something like that?
