Hi there,
doubt you remember me, I was knocking on your doors last week
asking about good z50 replacements?
Settled for a MobilePro 800, got a good price on ebay
so thanks for all the suggestions.
I just need to beef it up before putting NetBSD on it - CF card for
storage (is 512Mb enough for a compiler and system sources, or
is that pushing it? Do people make 1Gb CF cards?) and a PCMCIA
802.11 card, and it'll be perfect.
Oh, and stick a bit of lead in the case - it's so light I
keep thinking it'll squirt water if I sqeeze it...
Just wondered what wireless NICs people have tried/had success with?
I'm a Lucent Orinoco fan myself, but didn't see them listed as
supported in INSTALL?
Or are they architecture-independent?
Since I've never even cross-compiled before, I don't want to make things
any more complicated than they need to be.
Thanks again guys.
