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,
