Mine's a white unit, no onboard ethernet. The only bus powered device I'm running right now is the aue ethernet, which I can easily dump for testing. The HD is self powered. I'd love a microdrive, but figured I had this 60GB IDE drive floating loose, and the enclosure/adapter was only $35... might as well try right? : ) Previously I've been netbooting but getting ticked with random locks under load, under both Net and FreeBSD. No warning, no errors just stops dead in it's tracks. Figured getting 'local' storage might stabilize things. Have you gotten the backlight control code ported over to FreeBSD for these rigs? I'd love to have a screensaver module that just shut the LCD down. Joshua Coombs ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.
