Apart from that everything seems to work fine. X works very nicely on the panel and I did try it on a monitor once but wasn't able to make it use a decent refresh rate. The panel is clearer anyway :-). Hot-swapping drives and hot-docking is not supported. > > How about floppy drive access? (Mine only recognizes the external floppy > if it's connected at boot). I think this is a hardware limitation. I seem to remember in the instructions that you should not connect the floppy when the machine is switched on. When the floppy is plugged in (either in the external case or in the hot-swap bay, it works very well. > > I think, if I don't hear from anyone otherwise, I will attempt to run > a stock 3.3-STABLE kernel and userland on it, and see what happens. I normally run bleeding-edge current on this beast but I think 3.3 will work well too. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
