Thanks for the information.  T30 is outside my price range.  I could
get a T23, though.  That seems to come with an S3 SuperSavage/IX, which
should probably be supported.  Please correct me if I am wrong on that.
Another option is a Fujitsu S2020.  It's lighter and faster--Athlon
1900+ rather than PIII-M 1.13--and about the same cost.  Is there any
hope of getting that to work?  The graphics chipset is ATI Radeon
IGP 320M.  Has anyone ever got plan9 to work on this chipset?  It should
be more or less the same as a Radeon 9000.
