When I first tried to install Linux on my tp750, it wouldn't read
the floppy drive.  This is because the floppy drive on the tp750
is configured differently from a normal PC.  The sense of the
disk change line is inverted.  An unmodified Linux kernel will not
be able to use the floppy drive.

As for the hard disk, it should work, but at least the version
of Linux I was using would not auto-detect the disk geometry.
I had to hard-compile it in to my kernel (on another machine).
