I'm running FreeBSD 4.-STABLE on a Compaq iPaq P3-500, which is based on the i810 chipset. The only problem that may still be an issue is getting XFree86 4.0 to work with the integrated video chipset in the i810. Mind you, this may have changed since the last time I asked some people on the list. Also remember that there is also an i815e, which has the newer ICH-2 with ATA/100, integrated Intel networking (?) for the CNR slot, and some other newer features. // Linh Pham // // Proud supporter of FreeBSD and OpenBSD // FreeBSD - http://www.freebsd.org // OpenBSD - http://www.openbsd.org /* "Oregon, n.: Eighty billion gallons of water with no place to go on Saturday night." */ On Mon, 24 Jul 2000, Brandon D.
