Specific concerns:
Memory? How much, which speed. Lets not break the bank on 64 MB here
either. Is 16 Enough or should I really spring for 24 or 32 MB.
HD Controller: Is a used 1742 Adaptec + Quantum Lightning 730 the right
kind of thing? Could I get by with a good quality IDE and a fast 1 Gig EIDE
or something?
Floppy? should I bother with a 2.88?
Serial ports/modem .. for a mouse & 1 dial in? Just get a single serial
port and an normal ISA Supra or something?
Keyboard? Regular AT is ok, I hope.
CD-ROM? IDEAPI good enough? 2x , just to get the sw on there? I won't
actually be _using_ it.
Ethernet? EISA like the 3Com one? or get DEC's DE 42... whatever it is for
EISA. We're only on ISDN right now, prospecting going to T1, we do however
want to do multiple IP addresses and domain names. We'd also like this to
do mail and dns for itself. Other machines on the local net will be IP
only, no messy other protocols.
