Hello,
merry christmas :)
the Wikipage
http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Supported_PC_hardware/index.html
shows a list of laptops, that can be used with Plan9.
is this list up to date and complete?
I want to chose an IBM notebook/laptop but none of those on
the list are available at my computer store and none of the available
at the store are on that list.
So, I may have to buy a different computer, if the available
are not supported.
But maybe the list is not up to date, and so I want to know
who also has installed Plan9 on other Thinpads.
The following are available at the store (and I prefer to buy from
a local store):
Thinkpad R50e
Thinkpad R52
Thinkpad T43
Thinkpad T43p
Thinkpad X41
Thinkpad Z60m
Thinkpad Z60t
But not all of these are what I would chose, because some of them
are too expensive.
Did someone got Plan9 running on one of those machines?
And if, did all works as expected?
Ciao,
Oliver

With the new vesa changes, I would expect almost
all Thinkpads to work, though not the wireless cards.

The next friday I can test plan9 in a IBM Thinkpad R52 (at work), if you
need it.
In the other hand, the Intel 2200b/g wireless card will be supported? anyone
is working in the driver?
Thanks.

There is a partially written driver in /n/sources/contrib/rsc.
I announced it to 9fans a month ago. I think all the hard parts
are done and all that remains is putting the pieces together.

BTW: what is a Yenta Socket?
I only know BSD-sockets.
Are Yenta sockets the Plan9 socket-like implementations, or what?

Next time, please ask details and send them to the list (or
put it in the wiki), please!
Would help many people a lot I think.
(Also if you see other notebooks with Plan9, not only the BigBlue's)
Ciao,
Oliver
