If so, please contact me at > ck@adsu.bellsouth.com. I will summarize. I have one (through work). Seems to work OK. Caveats: 1) Uses the NeoMagic display chipset, so either wait for the new XF86 release or get AccelX from www.xig.com (I prefer the latter ... accelx is just so much nicer. No offense to the XFree group) 2) Sound controller was interesting to get working. The following line in your config file should get it working tho: device pcm0 at isa ? port ? tty irq 5 drq 0 vector pcmintr Its a Crystal 4237b (which I thought was a PnP chip, but PnP probes find nothign) according to Dell, but FreeBSD finds it as a ``SoundBlaster Pro 3.2''. It ships (or mine did, probably as options that the company specified) with a Psion Dacom v.90 faxmodem (the ``Gold Card'') which seems to work (haven't really tested it yet), and a ``Dell Fast Ethernet'' which is actually a 3com CardBus 10/100 card (which doesn't work at all under FreeBSD as we have no CardBus support). Mine came with 128Mb of RAM and a 4gig IBM hard drive. If you get the port replicator (C/Port?) then you'll find a 3com 3c905 ethernet card (in the docking station) gets find just fine. I have problems running X in the port replicator tho as I get a lot of psm errors. All in all, not bad if you don't have to pay for it :) Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
