	Which laptops are safe bets as of today for installing Plan 9?
	I know that lab guys use Thinkpad 600E, but the successor series
	600X laptops have problems. (Some guy posted a message, but
	nobody replied to that message).

I believe we did get the 600X to work, we had the discussion offline.
However, I think even the 600X series has been superseded.

The most recent laptop we've used is the Toshiba Portégé 3440CT. It has
a couple of annoying features (no PS/2 port on the case, don't know how
to make all 4 mouse buttons on the keypad work) but is otherwise very
nice.

There is also the COMPAQ Armada E500, a more conventional 3-spindle
machine.
