This, along with the info that there _is_ support for the framebuffer at
least in the 3+5/98 editions (what about PCMCIA (IDE disks, Modem etc?))
should go into the faq (as opposed to the lack of fb suport in 2.5.1).


That, and maybe some info about the differences between the sparcbook 
models (3XP:85MHz, 9.4" 640x480 display; Server: 110MHz, 640x480; 
3GS: 85MHz, 10.4" 800x600; 3GX: 110MHz, 3TX 170MHz, 
3000ST: 170MHz 12.1" 800x600, IDE drives, "handrest" for larger display,
plastic(?) display enclosure instead of magnesium alloy; 3000XT: same as
3000ST, but 1024x768). 

Are there more? After all, I didn't find any official infos about the 
3GS, but I do know that they exist, because I have one...
