Greetings,

Again. If i understood the answer correctly (in which I'm not sure
because I couldn't figure out if it was about the official release
from 2002 or atom) many of the hardware I wish to use have no
compatibility with plan9. Then what should I do? I mean, if i have to
create my own drivers, where do I start? If this mailing list is not
the place to be for my questions (being too basic and annoying), just
say so, but I have really no other idea where to get help from (with
this problem of mine), so if that's the case, could you please give me<= br> some advice about that (meaning where to get help)?
And about the foxconn L S-36, its some custom dell motherboard ripped
out of a factory setup hardware, and I guess I'll check the chipsets in it, and ask about that when I'll have the chance to check it.

Still, thanks for your help
Abel A. Bodoo

intel sata was a problem.
