    Got mine installed on a used ThinkCentre I got for $50 on Ebay. Sees
    everything installed & working on getting Telegard/2 with Fmail/BinkD setup
    to run the board off of. TG works great & got Fmail about half the way set
    up. BinkD is going to be the one which may eat my lunch...but plenty of
    people are around who have offered to help me with it.

    May I suggest you get a decent USB drive to keep all your software & such on
    in one place.

    So far all good with X60s, but time to time I end up into weird thingies with the UltraBase.

    But that's not only ArcaOS thing. For example in Haiku Ethernet won't work properly if I don't undock and dock after the boot. Even DHCP and such comes through bit are wanishing into the abyss somewhere on their way from the laptop
    to the docks RJ-45 port. This doesn't happen with ArcaOS though.
