Hello all, (Please cc any responses as I am not on the list)

Im thinking about purchasing a Sony SRX41P notebook, but I have a few
concerns. Mainly that the unit does now have a cdrom drive, will freebsd
(and it's install process) support the external PCMCIA cdrom drive?
Also on the spec sheet it says 'Microsoft Sound System', which really
says nothing at all :( I think vaios typically use NEOmagic sound cards
(as well as gpu's) 

I don't think FreeBSD supports bluetooth yet (or does it?), I don't
really mind, but I would want to use the builtin 802.11b interface, and
also the ethernet connection, would be cool if the modem worked too!

Im pretty sure the Intel 815 em graphics chip is supported by standard
Xfree86, has anyone had any trouble with these?

More info on the notebook, and specs can be found here:

All advice greatly appreciated :) Again please make sure you CC me as I am not
on the mobile list.
