Hi again,

I have tried to do a dual install (Win98 SE (UK)/Mandrake) on my daughter's
Fujitsu/Siemens Celvin EasyPC (legacy free). The EasyPC has no serial or
parallel ports. Everything, including floppy drive, keyboard, etc. is USB
based.

All went fine until monitor and video card config (expert mode). Mandrake
reported the card as an SiS 620, while in Win it is listed as a SiS 530. The
monitor is an IBM P50. No configuration of monitor worked correctly with
either video card setting. Everything else worked amazingly well, including
access to an HP DeskJet 660 C over a USB/parallel adapter and Wacom Tablet
(USB) drivers. Looked in the archives and found no mention of Celvin, EasyPC
or legacy free. Any ideas or advice?

The second issue is that I would like the Celvin to serve Apple Talk
(Mandrake-Linux), but I don't believe that the macutils in the Mandrake 8
Power Pack is enough to do this. I seem to remember that I need to install
some sort of Apple Talk server, but I don't believe it is on the CD's Help
anyone?

Cheers,

Brian
