The config disk is available on ftp.fnet.fr:/linux-mips/. Not an image

Once again my posting about video cards (the third time I send it out

Video cards for Magnums are rare. In fact, if you should find a source
for them you should really post it here. I however have recently seen
a posting to comp.sys.mips which I quote here:
