There's a separate "pop-up mouse" Linux driver project for this laptop: http://sourceforge.net/projects/obmouse/ and one here too that makes it behave like a serial mouse (don't know if it's actually the same or related): http://www.opensource.co.kr/opensource/proj.php3?projcode=7168&page=6 And *ouch! that stung!*: this link (for Linux) suggests that the PCMCIA controller is HP-proprietary with no specs available to boot: http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~fleck/iowa-lab/omnibook.html Oh yeh, & it seems to be ISA-only. Oh, and it's not Y2K-compliant either... > there appears another special problem of my wonderful OB 600 CT: Nobody knows, > how to get into the BIOS (if possible) of that notebook.

HP apparently claim that this isn't possible according to the Omnibook FAQ: http://www.eberl.com/omnibook/omnibook.faq Golly. That's fsck'd. The upgrade-to-Win-95 FAQ for this thing says that a BIOS upgrade is a must for this, however (and provides APM support, apparently). Good luck!
