I have one of these little suckers on my AcerNote 730C that I want to put a unix system on. I wanted to use Linux, but the support for this adapter doesn't exist. I'm hoping that since BSDI supports it, maybe it has been ported to FreeBSD or NetBSD. Is there any hope for me getting Windoze off this thing and install an OS I can actually use? (i got this machine as a freebie from my father's office because he no longer uses it, and it has Windows 3.11 on it now. The most money I want to put into it is perhaps another 4 or 8 megs of RAM). Thanks lots, Matthew Ross Davis mozart@butterfly.net
