: Oh, one other thing about the ThinkPad worth noting: the internal modem and
: sound are done by an MWave chip. There are NO FreeBSD drivers for this, so
: neither the synth nor the modem will work. You'll need to get PCMCIA cards
: for these functions.
Actually, I don't think that this is a problem with the 560s. They
don't have a built-in modem and if I recall correctly, the sound-chip is
a Crystal Audio jobbie (which if I remember is SB compatible).
The only StinkPads you have to worry about are the 75x/76x/770 models
which have the integrated MWave devices.
