The main initial use of the machine will be to produce sound effects for improvised theatre performances, but I wouldn't mind having a generally cool system as well (perhaps also running W95 for gameplay during commutes). I've gotten some ways into writing sound effects program (in Modula-3), but decided to stop until I actually had a laptop (since it's kind of hard to lug my tower to each show). I've never bought a laptop before, and in particular, I don't know what the story is with respect to sound cards. Does anyone have a recommendation of a laptop that would have a decent-quality sound-card? I'm going to need to load samples from CD, so something with an appropriate digital input is important. Also, I have an external SCSI Jaz drive for my desktop system, and I would like to be able to connect it to the laptop, so SCSI would be good as well. Along with the card, I'll need more than a gig of disk (since the sound FX samples themselves will probably take around a gig, and I don't want to rely on the Jaz drive). Also, at some point I might want to connect an external controller (a large knob would be best) to some port. Generally speaking, I don't usually buy bleeding-edge stuff (because I'm too cheap); suggestions that might be just above the mid-point of the curve would be useful... BTW, I'm willing to run 3.0-current, assuming it's reasonably stable... I've heard it said that for laptops, it's a good idea to try one out before using, so I'll add that I live in the SF Bay Area, in case someone has a particulr store to recommend. (I will, of course, be releasing the software when its complete; I can't imagine many people are clambering for improvised SFX, though..) To summarize, I'm looking for recommendations for a laptop with: good sound card >1G disk SCSI reasonable # of external ports Thanks for any help!

The 560E model would be my choice. Pros: * Well built * Good support * For the 560, it's light, and has the *best* keyboard I've seen on a laptop, and some FreeBSD hackers own them, so support exists. :) Cons: * Sometimes IBM tries to do things a bit different, but generally speaking they're pretty well supported in FreeBSD * Expensive 2) NEC - I have an older Versa that works great. Newer models are reported to also work great. Pros: * Use standard components. Nothing funky to cause you support grief. * Great performance. They almost always rate as one of the top 5 fastest notebooks in tests. Cons: * Expensive * Heavy 3) Digital (the HiNote Ultra II looks nice) Pros: * Use standard components. Nothing funky to cause you support grief. * People who own them love them. Cons: * I haven't heard from anyone lately who owns them, so I don't know well they work with newer FreeBSD kernels. (I don't suspect you'd have problems, but you never know...) * Digital isn't one of the 'big players', and haven't upgraded their laptop line in a while. Personally, if I had to buy a laptop *today*, I'd probably buy the IBM 560E ThinkPad. However, my second choice would be the DEC. I'm biased towards lighter boxes since I travel alot, and my box is a beast to lug around. (I had a Toshiba Libretto 50 for awhile, and although it is pretty light at 1.8lbs, the keyboard makes it useless for real work.) I'm in the market for a laptop now, but so far nothing has been *that* much better than my old P75 NEC that I want waste my laptop budget on a new one, so if anyone has any suggestions on a 'gotta have' laptop I'm all eyes/ears. As far as 'sound-cards' go, it appears that most of the newer laptops use sound-blaster clones, so I doubt you'd have any luck getting a laptop with a card that's any better/worse than it's competition. The biggest issues for laptops I see are: 1) Screen size 2) Disk size 3) Keyboard 4) Size 5) weight 6) Compatability/speed I'd stay away from the newer 'CardBus' machines, simply because I don't think there is any support in FreeBSD for them yet. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong, since I haven't done any laptop hacking in months.)

I'm trying to connect a Win95 laptop to my FreeBSD (2.1) machine and basically have the FreeBSD host act as a gateway to the rest of the network. I was wondering if I could simply use a null modem cable between the two COM ports and trick win95 DUN into using that? AFAIK, DUN will wait for a dial tone, which obviously isn't going to be there. Any ideas? Or should I try PLIP instead? But is there PLIP for win95? :) Please CC all replies to freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org as I don't subscribe to the freebsd-mobile list. Thanks in advance. Len.

I have downloaded the boot floppy (kernel) from www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO which recognizes PCCARD devices. When I install from this floppy, all of the hardware I have in my system seems to be recognized (including the two PCMCIA cards) but once the initialization of the two cards is completes the machine seems to hang. I have let the machine sit overnight incase there was a lengthy probe going on but nothing had changed by the morning. Any help or suggestions you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

But is there PLIP for win95? :) The problem is not FreeBSD, the problem is Windows 95. (Now that I re-read my mail, this looks a bit like stating the obvious :) ). You could replace 'my FreeBSD machine' by 'my Solaris machine' or 'my NT machine' and the question would be the same: a Windows 95 question. 'Dial-up networking' doesn't look like the solution here, since it intended to, right, dial up. Perhaps you'd better check www.windows95.com or cws.internet.com to find usefull 95/NT tools. - Peter From owner-freebsd-mobile Sat Aug 23 20:25:40 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) id UAA02180 for mobile-outgoing; Sat, 23 Aug 1997 20:25:40 -0700 (PDT) Received: from iago.ienet.com (iago.ienet.com [207.78.32.53]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id UAA02157; Sat, 23 Aug 1997 20:25:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from iago.ienet.com (localhost.ienet.com [127.0.0.1]) by iago.ienet.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id UAA14389 Sat, 23 Aug 1997 20:25:14 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199708240325.UAA14389@iago.ienet.com> From: pius@ienet.com To: BSD Mailing Archive Cc: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG, Peter Korsten Subject: Re: [Q] Win95 SLIP/PPP over null modem?

Check out http://www.vt.edu:10021/K/kewells/net/ >From there you can download a null modem dialup networking driver for Windows 95/NT.

It is looking for a dial-tone, it looking for a "CONNECT xxx" in response to an "ATDT xxx-xxxx" command (plus some other AT commands it uses). I think you can work around this by using the scripting addon (part of the Plus pack, which also include SLIP support), and write a script which doesn't send AT commands. > Thanks in advance. > Len. > > > > Tom
