Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Wanting to load up linux

AMD 5x86 P75 equivlent to a Pentium 75 according to the advertizing
department.

I have loaded RH 5.0 and 5.2 on some unnaned motherboards. Mboards have PCI
and ISA connectors. I used Trident 8900D ISA video cards and the system
worked.

Never tried to patch to a real time kernal. Kind of a test to see if the RH
would load and run.
