Well, I'm not Chuck... ;-)  But I'll butt in a bit...

First, a question:  What is APIC and why should I care?

I tried using /APIC on my T60 and could never get past the boot-time
freeze.

Just for the record in this list, my ACPI settings and some 'Rem Notes'
about what I tried and why are:

I can run just about every function at this point with UniAud 1.9.2.
This obviously excludes those functions that require newer Flash, PDF,
etc., levels that are just not available for eCS.

I'm open to adjustments if there is a benefit.  But, I hate to mess
with success.

OTOH, UniAud 1.9.3, including all of the special test files Paul
provided, caused various problems.  I sent the debug files to Paul and
it sounds like he is doing some major surgery for the device type that
we have in the T60/T61.


And, since you brought it up, my 'Patched' reports:
     Shockwave Flash 9.0 r14
What/where did you get the more recent update?  Can you play video at:
>http://www.masters.org/en_US/index.html
that specifically states:
    "Flash version 9.0.115 is required for the Augusta Live
    video service."
I'd really like to see what's there, but it either demands an update or
just does not play.
