Better that mine... it only came with win98 or 2k... :)

You can use the sis/via/triden audio driver from the 2.4 kernel tree,
the sis900 network driver and a regular vesa driver for console and X (don't
use the sis driver, its for the 5xx series)
The firewire works with the ohci driver :)
The only device not working is the (win)modem. There is a binary module out,
but I couldn't get it to do anything. (And i'm just getting a pccard modem).
