hello
first i must say that i'm impressed how well FreeBSD runs on that
notebook - nearly everything is working fine (3.3+PAO) only a
few things are left - maybe anyone here has an idea:
* what is the state of the usb floppy driver in FreeBSD - as far
as i can see thereis a beginning but not fully working umass
driver which supports an usb zip drive but not yet the
y-e-data floppy - is it right - anybody around here
with some more up to date state ? anything to
alpha test ? :-)
* with the machine came a modem card which is not detected by
pccardd (none-none-none-none ...) - so i started to play
around with pccardc enabler 0 sio2 -a 0x3e8 -i 5 and
it even says "sio2 is a 16550A - but with an
cu -l /dev/cuaa2
i can't talk to the modem - anyone any idea how far i am really
at this state or whatever i may try (or debug) - any un-
documented sio options worth trying ?
and last but not least a little hint: to get into the bios of the
machine i have to press the f2 key on bootup (which is as far
as i have found not documented anywhere)
a lot of thanks in advance
