It sound like to be actually the same as a Toshiba Satellite for me.
Interresting. FYI, this model is made by Compal <http://www.compal.com>
which is the actual manufacturer.

APM do not work with the Satellite too. So, yes, it is very likely to be
the exact same model...

Yes and no. You will have to make a (little) workaround in order to get ACPI
working, due to a bug in the BIOS.

You could have that with ACPI. Alternatively, you can try cpufreq.

In fact, the smartmedia slot is available as a USB device..
Just compile with SCSI support. Under the USB menu, you have a
'USB Mass Storage support' entry. You should then have a
'Microtech CompactFlash/SmartMedia support'

This is the Firewire link. You can try IEEE 1394, the correct driver
should be OHCI-1394. Since I have no HW to play with that, I can not
promise anything..
A final word: if you want ACPI for this one, you should go to
http://sf.net/projects/acpi
Try the latest patch. Alas, if your model is buggy in the BIOS, (and
I know already that it is the case, actually) you should
ask for help in acpi mailing list at acpi-devel (at) lists.sourceforge.net
or ask me privately (but at ducrot (at) poupinou.org with a subject
containing ACPI please).
