Unless you get programming device from the manufacturer, you won't be able to program a grabber, but all the code for the PCMCIA stuff already exists in the current drivers. > But more basic, does FreeBSD run fine now on some of the latest SVGA > notebooks with sound support and CD-ROMs... Sound yes, CD-ROMS maybe. My NEC Versa P has an Ensonic Sound System on-board which runs in SB emulation under FreeBSD. If you can get the sound-drivers to work on a Sound-Blaster and/or get support for the ESS the new NECS will work. The built-in CD should work whenever we get generic EIDE support working on FreeBSD, but so far that's been hit and miss. > I understood that FreeBSD > wasn't quite yet up to speed in regards PCMCIA and sleep/resume support.
