It's a 1700; previously I had a 1600 which worked better with everything
(the VIA sound was supported, the APM BIOS worked, etc). It had a flaky
touchpad, so I exchanged it, and took a 1700 because I wanted the CD-RW
drive and lighter weight - but now I have lots of unsupported hardware
(Conexant LANtastic Ethernet/modem, ESS1988 Allegro sound, and, it
seems, ACPI - which is unsupported in -stable, I gather). Fortunately I
have a 3Com PCMCIA EtherNIC, so I have enough working to make it quite
usable with FreeBSD anyway.
