Can someone fill in some blanks for me? Basically, I want to find out how well FreeBSD will work on it, which pretty much means I need to know the chipsets used for video, sound, PCMCIA and especially the SCSI controller (the internal 2.5" drive is a SCSI one, right?). It would appear from looking at the floppies you can download from their site that the video is a CT65548 and the PCMCIA is a Cirrus Logic PD-67mumble, which is fine. The sound looks like it is Crystal Semi CS42xx... Does that mean that it emulates an AD1848 or a soundblaster? -- Nick Sayer <nsayer@quack.kfu.com> | "To envision how a 4-processor system N6QQQ @ N0ARY.#NORCAL.CA.USA.NOAM | running [SunOS] 4.1.x works, think of +1 408 249 9630, log in as 'guest' | four kids and one bathroom."
