I am running a K6-2 (266) on an Iwill XA100 board which is similar except
that it has one more PCI and one more ISA slot as well as an AGP slot. It
uses the same chipset and I have been running for months without problems
(until now, but that was a bad upgrade, not the motherboard's fault)
I would go to the Seagate WEB site and get the drive info there. With the
numbers on the drive you should be able to make an identification of the model
and retrieve the drive parameters from the Seagate site.

If you have multiple screen sizes defined, the X desktop will be set at the
largest of them, with the smaller ones acting as a "window" onto the
desktop. If there's a way around this, I don't know of it -- this is a
"feature" of X11. So, the only way I know to get an 800 * 600 desktop is to
