They do support some Intel chipsets, which leads me to suppose they
won't be ignoring the later ones. OTOH, I notice that their roster of
supported chipsets for laptops is *way* shorter than for desktop
machines.

Aieeeee ! That's sort of become an ingrained habit, for us OS/2
users over the years, hasn't it (?): Verify the h/w support before we
leap . . . .

There's always email, but I prefer a more direct contact that makes it
harder for them to not respond. They have an office in Chino, which
is more or less local for us in SoCal, and I have called them a couple
times in the past to make inquiries. No reason you couldn't do the
same, and lobby your case in a polite manner. The thing is -- even in
a best case scenario -- do you really want to wait 6 months for
chipset support, if they should add it to their project list ?
