Thanks for this note -- at least this part of my plans will work...

Any ideas about the X4100?  From the specs it should work except for  
the built-in disk and controller, but it is quite an expensive thing  
to buy if it doesn't work...  I plan to plug an external RAID to it  
so it doesn't matter that the internal disk doesn't work.
