Sofar, most of it looks fine. A few questions remain: - when running X (had to try that one..) things like on an xterm don't work. This is using the builtin PS2 type trackball - the hinote has a US Robotics 28K8 PCMCIA modem. Of course I tried to make it work. Things like Windoze, MSdos Diagnostics etc correctly identify a second 16550A type comport (==the modem). FreeBSD does not, the probe fails. - the hinote also has a SCSI PCMCIA card. It was made by Adaptec and badge engineered by Digital. I think it is a APA-1460, it uses ASPI2DOS (so 1522 style) drivers with DOS. This aspi driver is for 6260/6360 type chips. This made me attempt to use the aic driver. No luck though. The probe fails. The latter 2 try-outs might fail because I miss something on the PCMCIA front. Do they need extra initialising to become active (???) or something like that? Ideas and suggestions are welcome.
