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

similarly the 760.  a short amount of time spent looking suggests that
the panic actually occurs when the kernel first attempts to call into
the apm bios (ie. through the selector generated as a result of the
int15 call).  power management seems to work fine in win95 (surprise
!) and sco openserver 5.0 (surprise !!).  i'm considering whether or
not i should look at the 5.0 code to see what it does...  i sent mail
to hosakawa, but i've not heard anything back yet.

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

3.1.2E runs ok-ish on the 760, which is also a trident, but a 9320LCD.

: 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 ?

i used the nep driver.

: 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 ..

never tried the 2.1 code on this machine.
