For the ages (and anyone who is looking for this answer via a search of a mailing list) This product WILL work with FreeBSD 4.4 and XFree86 4.1.0.6 Mostly. Gotja 1: It will not boot *IF* you probe the USB port. Or, load USB later in the boot. This linux-centric page makes a reference to changing the probe order to probe the USB 1st, then the PCMCIA. http://www.ee.princeton.edu/~manishv/linux-iseries/ So to make it work, you have to not activative the USB. (I do not know if changing the boot order will work with FreeBSD) The wireless comes up as wi0, so it should work. Gotja 2: Getting X up and running. Never had a painless laptop yet. using xf86config Select bus mouse Select 6 as the Horz Select vert custom 40-70 select 506 as the video card I limited the video to 1024, and used 16 bit color depth Gotja 3: The modem seems to not work :-( Here is the dmesg snippet mwave0: <mwave> on isa0 smapi::smapi_init, ERROR invalid usSmapiID tp3780i::Initialize SMAPI is not available on this machine Mwave Modem, ERROR cannot Initialize DSP error 5 device_probe_and_attach: mwave0 attach returned 5 (I have not tried the modem but when it says error I'm betting its busted that and the hard lockup when I try using it with ecu is a good indication of the busted state.) The hard drive comes out by turning the screw-head you can turn with a quarter, and slides right out. The machine works with a 20 gig drive no problem.
