It is hilarious. When I installed SLS 1.0 I had to assemble the machine to match the drivers available. 92 or 93. I vaguely remember I needed a SCSI hard disk.

Remember that most machines back then were Ethernet, not WiFi. First wifi device I used was a PCMCIA card from Lucent, claimed 2mbps speeds. Still have it somewhere. I don't think I ever got Linux or BSD to work.

> Remember that most machines back then were Ethernet, not WiFi. Not "most" -- all. 802.11 networking was standardised in 1997. The first versions to really see significant mass adoption were 802.11b and then 802.11a in 1999. https://hewlettpackard.github.io/wireless-tools/Linux.Wireless.std.html https://hewlettpackard.github.io/wireless-tools/Linux.Wirele...
