What's with the "WE had to create a BIOS for it to support an SD card"?!
What BS! AFAIK, /my/ XO is running the LinuxBIOS, and it accesses the SD
card just fine. I've never seen that Insdyne screen before - I assume
that's their SpecialBIOS(tm) that let's them access an SD card. I guess
they really don't want that pesky upstart FOSS BIOS on THEIR laptop.
I also noticed he seems to have to press a bunch of keys a few times
during the boot. Once sequence looks like <Ctrl-Alt-Del> which is
consistent with the on-screen dialog box that says "Press
Ctrl-Alt-Delete to Begin".
I also wonder about the Blue logo on the back of the LCD. Mine is Green
and purple. Maybe he's using a hardware-prototype, or is that a newer
model? And what is it sitting on - a docking station? I don't see a cord
in the charging socket. Maybe that's a battery it's sitting on (plugs
into the bottom?).
Curiouser and curiouser.
