I've heard that some laptops won't work, and I've seen this internal at Sun also. Many laptops will allow that, but some have a proprietary mini-pci slot, such as the IBM Thinkpads I'm told. I believe that someone has replaced one of the Broadcom mini-pci cards in the Acer Ferrari 3400 with success. > The link for this company > store on ebay is http://stores.ebay.com/Prime-Electronic-Components . Thanks for posting that link, maybe that will help someone else out. Just be warned that some laptops have problems accepting a different mini-PCI. -- Alan DuBoff - Sun Microsystems Solaris x86 Engineering _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
