[ltp] Supported Devices

[Shane Broomhall]

Thanks Richard,

I have downloaded the drivers, in about 2 weeks I will have my baby (A20M)
back and time to start playing with her. I am also very impressed with
Mandrake, I will be playing with it first.  I plan on purchaseing a copy of
VMware to allow me to run my business accounting package without needing to
dual boot.

With the FireWire, I will probably network an old laptop run WIn on it, and
set it up as an available share using FTP or something like that, still
allows me to use it, until some clever person comes up with another way.

Cheers

I rather like Mandrake 8.0 (although 8.1 is out in a week...)
There is winmodem support for the internal lucent modem in my A22p at
http://www.heby.de/ltmodem
[That is the Modem/Ethernet combo - I imagine it's the same as the one
in your A20 (although I don't know this).]

Likewise: my card is an Evergreen Firewire PCMCIA, with a 20GB Fireline
Hard disk. I can only make it work in Windoze!
Any ideas...? (I can't find anything useful on the web so far.)
