From 328a5b2917d2c64fe09550f7872154e83d3d1ea6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mario Sergio Fujikawa Ferreira Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2003 06:12:45 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] o Add items to wantlist: - ATA IDE disk and Promise ATA PCI IDE controller. Add extra drive space for further FreeBSD ports development. Needed to build a clean room test environment like the one found in bento ports cluster - AMD K6 processor and network switch 10/100 Mbits. Get a K6 based machine back online and add it as an extra terminal to FreeBSD home LAN - Backup tape unit. Adding backup support to home development machine, mainly used for FreeBSD ports related development - Books.
