The quirkiness gets better too. The inbuilt Ethernet is a Broadcom 440x, for which there doesn't seem to be a FreeBSD driver. No physical serial port, either (although I've now got a replicator that does it). So until we sort out the Cardbus, the machine is a little isolated! Fun, fun fun. The machine is available in the UK, www.acer.co.uk->Products->Travelmate 800. (the url is horrendous - lots of ,,,,,,,). It is around £1385 over here. Mobile Pentium at 1.3GHz, 512MB, 40GB, DVD/CDRW, 15inch 1400x1050, Radeon 9000 64MB and 5hrs battery life in 2.8kg, > Warner > -- ________________________________________________________________________ Duncan Barclay | dmlb@dmlb.org | dmlb@freebsd.org|
