I have an EZ-Book 700E, a little different than your 800. I never tried to use the CD-ROM under 2.2.8 (I did an FTP install), but the cdcontrol command worked for the audio portion. I am trying to get my sound controller working now... should be the last major hurdle other than the PC-Cards. I really do like this machine, but I hate having to dual-boot into Win98 just to get on to the net! Hopefully PAO-3 won't be too far into the making before we can use it!
