[9fans] Thinkpad 760ED success

[Stephen Arons]

I've had p9 running happily on an old Thinkpad 760ED (type 9546) in
8-bit XGA mode for several days.  Add the line

	0xC0043="Z6.1I"		# IBM TP 760ED (9546)

to the vgadb entry for the cyber938x.  There is a brief moment of screen
garbage as the controller switches from cga mode.

Two caveats:  there are no drivers for the MWAVE machinery, so the
internal modem, soundblaster emulator, etc. are ignored; you can't set
hardware configuration options without the ``Thinkpad Features''
software on an IBM-supported OS.

What's been working:  lcd, keyboard, external mouse, serial port,
internal CD-ROM, external floppy. Not tested:  PCMCIA, parallel port.

It's great to have p9 running again.  There are so many wonderful ideas
in this release to absorb, it's almost as though rob's recent dark talk
on systems software research was the hat and this is the rabbit.
