Thanks, Ying. I think that this is also the build that will have
support for the Intel 3945 wireless network card as well. This means
that hardware support for my Thinkpad Z61m (model 9451-NTM) will be
almost complete, at least the bits that are important to me.

I've just had a look (under Linux) at how my DVD drive is connected and
it appears as parallel ATA, so there is no issue here.
Thanks again for the advice, I look forward to testing a nearly complete
Solaris implementation on this machine soon.
Cheers
