Mike, thanks very much for this extremely detailed information.  I have
a T20, type 2647-86U, with BIOS 1.03 (IYET37WW) at my disposal.  I'm
hoping to try a FreeBSD install on it soon, but I need to do it
carefully so as to preserve the Win2K install on the disk.  I'll report 
results once I have them (hopefully soon enough to still be timely).  

Bruce.
