I'm considering getting an HP Omnibook 800CT, which uses an ESS1888
"Soundblaster Compatible" sound chip and a NeoMagic NM2070 128-bit PCI
video chip.  I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this unit?
How good are these chips, and does FreeBSD recognize the floppy so
installing it won't be a pain?  I read somewhere that Linux required
patches to work with the 600's floppy...

Thanks!
