A few reports ..

i) the TP560 dislikes apm in -current .. with or without the "broken stat
clock" option it'll panic :-(

ii) has anyone run X on this thing ? SuperProbe reports ..

First video: Super-VGA
        Chipset: Trident GUI 9660
        Memory:  1024 Kbytes
        RAMDAC:  Sierra SC1148{2,3,4} 15-bit or SC1148{5,7,9} 15/16-bit HiColor
                 (with 6-bit wide lookup tables (or in 6-bit mode))

 .. which isn't in anything but 3.1.2E and that doesn't seem to switch to
graphic mode (I'm left with the text-mode output).

iii) if I enable the pccard support, the zp0 driver stops seeing the 3c589
and the system reports a "device allocation failure" (I assume that I'd need
to either wire in the nep driver or redefine the stuff in /etc/pccard.conf
to point at the zp driver) .. suggestions ?

iv) if I revert to the 2.1R code + pccard-test package, apm will simply hang
the machine (power-off by removing battery :-() and the nep0 driver pulls
the "link OK" on my hub at unpredictable intervals. "ifconfig nep0 down"
followed by "ifconfig nep0 up" restores normal operation .. for a while ..

Other than this .. it's a nice, quick and light machine :-)
