Re: [TP755] Debian Linux 1.3.1, what's supported , what’s not?
Is it the P75 or the 486DX4?
The sound card is an mwave soundcard, and a special little trick needs to
be done to get sound support (only 8 bit). Forget using the internal modem
(It's run of the mwave DSP also) just go and buy a PCMCIA modem.
The screen size is 640x480, you can get 1152x864 (or something close to
this) on an external monitor, or a virtual screen on the LCD. BTW you must
use the XF86_SVGA server and it only supports the 755's videocard in 8bpp
mode.
I'm not sure if the price is good or not, I don't know what one of these
things are worth nowadays. If the docking station is a Dock I, I go mine
for like $50 from onsale a while back.
