- Hello:
-
- It sounds like there is a lot of Gateway 486/66 experience
- out there. I have a few questions regarding both the
- 4DX2-66V AND 4DX2-66E models:
-
- Is the serial-i/o implemented with a 16550 style UART (one
- that contains 16-word fifo's)?
-
- Can one disable the serial-i/o and parallel-i/o to support
- the use of the address space + irq for an i/o adpater card?
-
- How many pins are in the CPU expansion socket (169, 238 or xxx)?
-
- Has anyone had experience with the local bus SCSI option for
- the 66V? Please provide details (manu, 500MB upgrade cost,
- performance relative to motherboard IDE).
-
- Does gateway also provide a non-local bus SCSI for the 66V?
-
- How does a 66V with SCSI compare to the 66E?
-
- In general, how does the 66E perform relative to the 66V?
-
- Specific to 66E:
-
- Is the SCSI interface on a local bus?
- Can it support an ATI Ultra Pro LB card in addition to the
- SCSI?
-
- What is the Ultra Pro LB upgrade cost?
-
- I though I understood Gateway's telephone "on-hold ad" to
- claim 9.4 MB/m on the $195 Colorado Jumbo 250 tape upgrade.
- Does this upgrade include an accelerated interface?
-
- What is the cost of a single 16MB simm upgrade?
-
- What is the ramdac & 2MB upgrade cost for the ATI Ultra Pro?
-
- Thank you, I will summarize responses.
