There shouldn't be any reason it doesn't run, but we haven't tested it on that hardware yet... If it doesn't, I'm sure both Kip and myself will be willing to help figure out why it doesn't... The biggest issue I can think of would be device drivers, but we are currently using OFW for that, so it shouldn't be an issue... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
