Is this a US/UK difference? My 270 definitely doesn't have an internal modem. I asked about this in the shop I bought it from (I wanted to make quite sure it *didn't* have an internal, because they're harder to replace if FreeBSD didn't like it for some reason) and was categorically told that the modem was a bundled card, and not built in. I believe (BICBW) that the slimmer VAIOs have built in modems though. > > Second, how hard is it to setup the sound on one of these beasts? > > : Impossible, to the best of my knowledge.

That's about right. I haven't messed with the partition since I got the machine, and the supplied, default size (for a 64MB machine) is 199MB.
