Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a notebook to run FreeBSD 2.0.5 or 2.1 and I'd like to
know if anyone out there knows about PCMCIA support. I've tried a notebook
with and PCMCIA IDE CD-ROM (okay, I strongly suspected it wouldn't work, but
what the heck!) and now I'm looking at a Toshiba Portege 610CT. This has a
100MHz pentium, 16Mb of RAM, some flavour of Chips and technologies-based
display driver and an 800Mb hard disc. In addition it has an Adaptec 1460
PCMCIA SCSI interface to connect to an external 6x SCSI CD-ROM.
Does anyone else have any experience with BSD on notebooks? Sorry if this isn't
the correct group for this question.
Peace ..,
\z\(gr>
