My friend jus got his working OK on a 90MHz PCI Pentium with Diamond
Stealth 64, Sony CDP-1730, Creative Labs CD-16, 32MB RAM, 850MB IDE, 900MB
SCSI.  He's using IDE for linux, coz the SCSI driver is only alpha for his
SCSI card.  No problems so far, even though it seems that linux says it
supports 386 and 486 (no mention of Pentium).

Maybe the latest releases of linux explicitly mention Pentium support...
