T42p here with eCS 1.2. 2373-X41. Everything works except for the
wireless (An Intel 2100b, I'm using a Cisco 350 PCMCIA instead), the
winmodem, firewire and suspend (except it will suspend if battery empties,
and will successfully unsuspend when charging). Powers off fine, USB 2.0
works fine (scanner and card readers), PCMCIA (TI PCI4520) works (using
SS2TICB driver), Intel Pro Gigabit builtin nic works fine, Radeon Mobility
M10 NT (RV350-WS) works great with SNAP (which sees it as an ATI Mobility
9600). Sound is AC'97 Audio Controller (ICH4/ICH4-L A1 step) which works
fairly well with UNIAUD (at times I lose sound but that is rare).
DVD-R/RW works with RSJ. No floppy but I think that's standard with the
newer T models. Track point works fine with the default driver in eCS
1.2. I did have to turn off the stupid touchpad as some feature (Ican't
remember what) of the trackpoint wouldn't work if both were enabled.
I will have it with me at Warpstock if you are going to be there.
