I suppose this is possible. MB: Tyan 1571S with a P5-166MMX and 48 MB
RAM and 2GB Western Digital IDE drive. The CDROM is a Toshiba 4X SCSI
on a ProSonic SCSI card with a Future Domain 9C50 chip. This chip had
previously been driven by the FD8XX.ADD driver. I know it's not state
of the art hardware but this is just to test out ECS, and Warp 4 has
worked successfully on all these hardware components before (although I
can't remember if assembled in this particular configuration). In fact,
I know I've installed Warp 4 on this drive with this sound card/SCSI
combo before. Could the P5-166MMX be too fast for this? I suppose I
can dig up some alternatives if need be.
