As soon as read this I said use a video capture card. Then you can use a video modulator which will put each camera on a differant channel. Plus, the video modulator would be way cheaper than the serial cards, and as the above said the video capture cards have really low overhead.
He means 2 hours because he is waiting for the whole OS to come down his internet link. In my experiance you can get Redhat installed in under ten minutes from flipping the power switch That is with selecting packages and configuring X. K6-233/64MB/24X cd-rom. Two hours might be a good time to have a completely configured and custumized system.
I ran ptester against my K6-233, 64MB ram, running apache, with a single 10mb card. Serving a 2K page I got over 25,000 hits/sec. I can get it to pump out almost 18,000 hits/sec running a php3 page (with X and netscape running remotely) that is 17K out output.
While every bios I have ever used only supports two controllers(each with a master and slave), each using there own irq. The offboard cards have there own bios' to detect drives and know how to talk to the drive. You do not have to disable the onboard ide they work fine.
My Ultra/33 has two connectors and supports up-to four drives.
It is not really a problem sense like 2.0.35, even the dreaded products of M$ will let you use these things I ran two HD, a zip disk, a cdrom, a cdron changer, and a cd-burnner, No problem. But there was a notable differace in speed when you transfered between things on the same cable.
I think it has to do with being a dedicated workstation or server. Even my Multa which was design to run NT still, gives me the message Keyboard not found sending all I/O to serial port 1.
The problem is that PC hardware is designed for being a PC and not a headless server.
But on the other hand even my 486 BIOS's allow for no keyboard/no video/no disk.
I don't understand why a dual cpu system would matter. Aren't you going to put heat sinks with fans on the cpus which are metal and the fans power is a source of ground. As for the SCSI card you are worried about interference there well if scsi had a problem with interference then it would not run inside the case where there is lots of interference, or outside the case in places like computer rooms.
I also remember reading in a computer manual some where that if you get interference to try moving stuff from behind the computer, they admit that the fan of the power supply is a great big EMP hole.
I have used 4 to 5 five computers in the same room with the covers off with no problem. Sound was fine, moniters were fine, TV was fine, and radio tuner card was fine. Why would computers be bothered by the EMP created by computers, They are always inside the Faraday cage of the case.
The amount of interference from AC wall power is worse in my experiance then the interference then a computers with there covers off.
The problem is with the way *nix keeps track of time. The date problem happens because *nix systems read the date from hardware when they start only, they then keep track of second sense some date in the mid-sixties. This why *mix can run on systems with out hardware clocks, and why they are not going to even blink at the whole Y2K thing. Without the system running the time dosen't get updated. This is in fact a good idea because it keeps cron from getting confused when the time changes.
Every power supply I have ever worked with, other than an actual AT has had tabs on the power connector that prevent you from puting the connectors on backward with out forcing them.
The requirements are bull sh*t, while I do meet them K6-233/64MB it only uses 2.7% of the cpu and 12K of memory, it was smaller than Netscape.
My guess is that they restated the winbloze requirement for Linux. Speaking of Linux I love it running G2, three shells, four netscape windows, an icq client, and top only a.17 load.
For all the people coplaning about it I could not even get rvplayer5 to run it did not like my non-open sound system card or 2.2.* or something.
I just sent several hours looking for excatly what you are talking about. With no luck had desided to askslashdot about it when I found someone had done it for me. If you get it to work it would be great for anyone with on a LAN. Please let us know if you get it working

I just reported what the software told me. Talk to the makers of the software how it is possable.

I always thought that was for a cpu fan.
