ThinkPad.  The A31p "just works", except for the winmodem.  USB works, CardBus
works, display card works, CD burner/DVD works, wireless works, Bluetooth
would work if we did anything with it, firewire works, ethernet works, serial
and parallel ports work...

Okay, so I don't think there's any driver support in NetBSD for the video in
and out.

My ThinkPad A31p does that (1600x1200 display, 640M ram) except that the CPU
is only exactly 2Ghz.
