But overall, I'm really less than pleased with this sucker. One thing is the BIOS which requires Windows to configure anything significant, the other thing is built-in softmodem (which of course will not work). My impression is that under the hood this machine is not quite a PC, but WinIBM or something :-( I still experience total freezes when accessing sio0. The same goes for 'pnpinfo' - machine freezes completely, and only hard reboot helps.
