Hi,
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).
Thank you,
Saroj Mahapatra

Plan9 works on Toshiba 3480CT (S3 Savage IX-MX chip), though there are some
problems with suspend/resume. You'll have tough time installing it on the
laptop though (only USB floppy supported).

Toshiba Tecra 8000 seems to work ok.
(apart for the audio -- it has a yamaha OPL3-SA3 which according to the
documentation of the tecra should be soundblaster pro compatible;
a minor amount of fiddling was not enough to get it working)
(on a off topic note: is the xircom rem56g-10bt pcmcia ethernet/modem
supported? If so, what are the magic config words to make it work?)
Regards,
Axel.

My Dell Latitude CPi worked fine once I added a line to the VGADB file for
my specific flavor of the NeoMagic 128 video card...
