I've got a 600MHz machine with 256 RAM and a 20GB SCSI hd on it. It's
running Win ME in DOS compatibility mode for all three partitions although
otherwise seems to be running properly. Windows device mgr shows a PCI mass
storage controller with yellow exclamation mark - presumably the SCSI. Also
has a CDROM/DVD player which is its only IDE device currently.
This is a game machine for my kids in the family room and I'm debating
whether to install RH 9 on it which raises a few questions:
1. is this adequate hardware for a full RH9 install including X?
2. will RH likely have a suitable driver for my SCSI?
3. is it possible for me to get this machine running RH9 and able to run
windoz apps, especially games?
4. re. #3, what kind of effort, heartache, & misery am I looking at?
FWIW I don't mind spending a day or two on this and then finding out it's
not going to work. My kids have gotten used to the inconvenience by now. :)
Thanks in advance.
