Help with Amithlon....

[croupier]

Hi there!

Now and then I find some time to tweak with my laptop and the Amithlon installation that I have on it....

I already figured out that for the sound to be used on Amithlon I need a compatible sound card/chip...and this means my old laptop (Compaq Presario) will have to be without it under Amithlon...

Probably same story also with the USB....read that Amthlon works only with USB that is based on the NEC chip? Anyone can confirm on this?...this laptop still has the 1.1 USB...have tried Poseidon 4.4 and 4.5....

Haven't tested the Ethernet yet (hopefully soon....), but I tried to play with the PCMCIA port....and a Wireless card that I use on my A600 (Orinoco)....and guess what....it doesn't seem to work......have the prism2 installed....not even the power light on the card turns on...(but it works normally under WinXP on the same laptop...so the port/card is OK)..

Anyone with some experience with PCMCIA on Amithlon? How do I check if the port is at all recognised/usable on the Amithlon? Any special set-ups/configurations needed?

Thanks!
