- I've been running Linux for some time now on an older TI 3000 (386SX/20)
- without problems. The only thing to consider is that it is difficult
- to switch to an external monitor.
-
- A friend who has a TM3000, too and is a real wizard wrote a few tools
- to set the clock frequency and to switch to the external monitor.
- X runs in monochrome only, although the chipset is supported (TVGA)
- and ought to work in 640x480x256 with an external monitor.
-
- Send me a mail if you are interested in the tools.
