Sorry for the delay in getting this posted.  I've even tried following
the advice of my first IBM Branch Manager [circa 1962]:
"If 24 hours per day is not enough time to get your
work done, then you'll just have to start getting
up earlier..."
Didn't work then!  Doesn't work 45 years later!

Well, as I sit typing on my T60, Core Duo [both processors humming
along] and eCS 1.2R, there are really only two 'sets' of functions that
are keeping me from being completely happy:

1)  Sound...
    This is the very easy description.  There is NONE!
    Zero, zip, nada!
    The side effect of this is that I cannot verify that any,
    all, or none of the Flash sites will work.  Since they almost
    all require/use sound, it's not seemed worth the investigation
    yet.  I do hope that there will be a sound solution from the
    UniAud project soon.

2)  The more difficult descriptions are:  Power Management...
    Early on, it appeared that ACPI was the culprit in keeping
    any USB devices from working.  But, this was very erratic .
    USB flash drives would sometimes work and sometimes not,
    depending on ACPI and/or enabling both processors.  As of
    ACPI 2.22, I've had no problems with USB drives.  That said,
    there are three power areas that are 100% non-functional as far
    as I can tell.  [NOTE: There is the possibility that I have
    something specified wrong, but my questions about EXACTLY
    how the configuration should be specified have gone unanswered.]
    -  Shutdown, power off, reboot
       These all result in a hung system requiring manual power
       off to reboot.  Power off is, by far, the largest problem,
       but for me, the least used.  Using the Power Off switch
       always results in 'Dirty Drives' that require CHKDSKs to
       restart the system.
    -  My A30p, if left sitting idle for a while, will turn the
       screen off and enter a sleep state.  The T60 leaves the
       display turned ON and the system fully active no matter how
       long it is not used.  None of the Fn-Fx key combinations
       will force Sleep State as far as I've been able to test.
       I have the Intel i945GM adapter.  I was told pre-purchase
       that the ATI adapter would not work with SNAP.  And, except
       for the 'sleep' issue, it has worked just fine.  I have the
       SNAP 3.18 Build 505 level, the last that I believe was made
       available before SciTech disappeared.
    -  Printer:  Attached via Parallel Port on Docking Station.
       When moving back from battery operation to the dock,
       the printer is not recognized.  Status of print jobs
       says, "Printer offline..."

I think this is the complete picture.  But, if someone has any
questions about a particular area, ask...  The only guarantee that I
can make is, if "I don't know," I consider that a valid response.  I
just hope someone else has the key to unlock the issues I've mentioned
above.

Carl
