1.6GHz, 30GB, 512MB (can take more) DDR1, 14" 1024. CD-RW/DVD
Given to us with broken keyboard and some other fixable hardware problems.

Highly recommended for BL2, as are Latitude 166Mhz and 300MHz DELLs. Does have a serial port (did not yet test pcmcia or external modem), and can boot from USB hard drive or flash drive or floppy drive.

video - ATI Radeon - vesafb, Xvesa (does not crash)
sound - i810 (same drivers as the Toshiba, but actually plays)
network - Broadcomm gigabit uses tg3.o (supported by 2.4.31 - will post)

USB storage - USB 2.0, works with USB hard drive as sdb1. There is an sda (sda1 2 3 4) which I have not identified and cannot mount. IDE drive (30GB) currently has four partitions - is something confused?

LILO and loadlin both work (XP came on a FAT32 filesystem).


In progress:

Modem test (onboard modem works only in XP)

Wireless card is an Intel miniPCI 2100 which works in Puppy (ieee80211_crypt, ieee80211, ipq2100) and I will try to compile the drivers for glibc 2.2.5 and if no luck for 2.3.6. Easily replaced.

USB floppy boots (to DOS), works in Puppy. How do we use a USB floppy drive in BL? What modules are needed?

Sindi
