[H-GEN] Banshee Cards under Xwin

Hi Andrew,

Here is the info Frank sent me a little while back.  (This is in response to
Frank's post earlier this evening.)  I have not actually tried this, as I
couldn't get Linux to behave properly on my 14GB IBM hard drive.  It
wouldn't see over 8GB, no matter how hard I teird.  Worked ferpectly on the
8GB drive, but it refused to see anything over 1024/255/63 on the 14GB, and
I tried everything I could think of.

I'm about to reinstall Linux on an old P-90 I have sitting in a cupboard
here.  Should be quite sufficient for my needs.

I would like to try the Banshee driver again though - maybe a second hard
drive in my main system!  :-)
