ASL Workstations & Asus P2B MB

ASL Workstations & Asus P2B MB

Post by David S. Markowit » Mon, 22 Jun 1998 04:00:00



Hello,

I am curretnly in the market for a new PC which I intend to run as a
dual-boot Red Hat 5.1 Linux & WinNT 4.0 box.  I am seriously considering
purchasing an AS-ProXA P-II workstation from ASL Workstations.

Does anyone have any experience in dealing with this company that they'd
be willing to share?  Also, the components ASL listed as being used in
the construction of the machine are all top-drawer.  However, I don't
know anything about the reputation of Asus motherboards.  (ASL uses an
Asus P2B in the box I'm looking at.)  Anyone have any comments on the
Asus MB?

Thanks in advance,


replying directly.

Well, I don't know anything about ASL  but I do have an ASUS P2B.  I
run Slack 3.5 and Win95B.  There seems to be no problems with this
motherboard.  I have not tested any other PII motherboards so I can
only say that the ASUS seems to be an ok product.

   cat /proc/apm

Looks fine!

 dmesg | grep apm

Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 1434

The "Unknown device is a 8600A series notbook
and *eveything* on it works fine on linux, even the
AC'97 sound as well as the windows modem.

So it generally isn'y true that producst from ASUS don't
work under linux....
