Very Computer

Has anybody gotten Slackware Linux (latest release) to work with
the Creative Labs, Inc. Sound Blaster 16 Quad-SPeed CD-ROM Drive
Multimedia kit?  I have a very generic 486 machine and can't find
a driver for it.  I looked on

ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/kernel/patches/cdrom/INDEX

and around some other places and am at a loss to how to proceed.
On page 832 of this monster Linux Encyclopedia, there is some
blurb about Proprietary CD-ROM drives and it lists
Creative Labs, although it does not list my particular model
of Creative Labs CD-ROM.
Am I out of luck?  Should I have spent more money on a better
CD Drive? :-)  This was one of those 200 buck specials that throws
in everything in one box - the sound card, CD-ROM Drive, games,
utilities etc.....

Thanks for any advice.

I am looking for a good (not necessarily cheap!) Pentium Pro motherboard in
ATX format, which will be used to run Linux exclusively.
Any recommendations? It should be compatible with the following hardware:

1. Buslogic SCSI controller ( 958 PCI).
2. Matrox Millenium.

Current candidates include:

1. Intel Venus
2. Micronics
3. Tyan

Also, does anyone have any first hand experience on a two Intel Pentium
133 CPU's versus a single Pentium Pro setup?

Please post or e-mail. I will summarize all responses.

Thanks,

Dimitri

I would not write off the SuperMicro as it performs very nicely.
