Does Linux support the shared memory card in a Quad QSP-2 gui machine? The card is ISA based. The original OS is Windows 98, but the mass storage support is poor. Windows ME is giving us major driver problems with NVIDIA 6200 cards. The story is, many hardware vendors refused to release updated drivers for ME and when you google search it is a dead end. Nothing exists before Windows 7 supposedly... thank you Microsoft. A QSP-2 made by Tyco is a circuit board assembler with cameras and vacuum lines, the works. Modern iterations are Windows 7 based, but replacing the two computers is not cheap. Think $7k. Not an option. If Windows 98 on top of Linux can support the ISA shared memory card, that may be a better way to go to get Mass Storage and the shared memory card working. Windows 98, even SE, doesn't support usb2 and mass storage well. The shared memory card is proprietary Tyco hardware. A thin Linux running X with Virtualbox that can support the ISA bus in a Windows 98 gues! t is need ed. What Linux distribution is needed for the job and how old?
