The hardware is Abit VP6 mb w/dual 866 coppermines & 256 MB of PC-133
memory. Disk0 is a Maxtor 30 GB, disk1&2 are on the HPT-370 controller
and are also Maxtor 30 GB drives. The 2 HD's on the HPT-370 are
identical models. All are rated at ATA-100. The loader has been Win XP
Pro since beta2 and runs FreeBSD about half of the time.
