I've been using a T5100, 4MB RAM and a 40MB hard disk under 2.3.2
without much problem for about 4 months now.  One thing that I did
notice though... vidi e80x43 doesn't work.  I lose the lower half
of the font.  A real shame since I love 43 line consoles.  Also,
there was mention on this board about the need to throw switch 5
in the back.  I found that under DOS, some graphics apps would not
work correctly unless I returned switch 5 to its normal position.
You must do this * before * the boot for the change to have any
effect.
