This is a different chipset than the 755/760/701 and 350/360 series. It's a chips & techologies video set. I don't know about the keyboard controller. Seems pretty standard. Uses a Phoenix 1.03 bios rev with a Cyrix (according to FreeBSD's probe) 486DLC (I think it was a DLC). Consider the 365 a FreeBSD success story -- Linux can't seem to handle it. Step 1. Rawrite floppy. Step 2. Copy dists/bin to /FreeBSD/bin on the dos partition. Step 3. Boot. Step 4. Install minimum 2.05 system. Step 5. Add the wdc atapi support from /incoming. Step 6. Build new kernel (still working on getting this working with APM psm -- however WCD support works now...) Step 7. Still working on getting X11 up.
