(I have used : > all these cards with Win95 just fine). : : Possibly, since PAO was developed on a L50, it's running on one English : L50 that I know of. Do these cards work in the Win95 that was installed : on the Libretto, or just on other machines with Win95? Actually, according to the PAO web page, the testbed was the L30. Maybe something changed between the two of them? I have FreeBSD running on my machine, but it doesn't seem to grok the 3com card, so i've not been able to upgrade to -current. One oddity of the libretto 50CT (and maybe others) is that it doesn't have a 12V line for pc card slot 0. The linksys ethernet card i tried first didn't work under win95, but the 3com 3c589d card works great. in fact, i'm typing using the 3com card right now on the libretto runing win95. So i can report partial success on my libretto. Rumors were at LISA that Linux worked on this box, but i've not seen it actually running. I don't have a scsi card yet, so i can't comment on that. oh, i just noticed that on win95 irq 15 is used for this, as well as i/o addresses 0x0110 to 0x011f. i'll have to see if i can make freebsd us those parameters..... so i'll reboot now and try :-).
