Hello,

I am using IBM Thinkpas 750c laptop and it is fine, apart from the
following:

1. I had to enter floppy=thinkpad at LILO prompt when installing Linux
to recognise the 2.88 FDC with inverted dcl.

2. It comes with Xircom DE-620 pocket adaptor which is not supported
currently by the kernel so I use PLIP as a main networking layer on
it.

Otherwise, it is fine, especially for browsing the kernel code and
learning about UNIX on the train to work.

Tigran Aivazian.
