Models and Operating System Support

There are two OmniBook 900 Models. Models that have a "900 B" after
their serial number (on the bottom of the notebook) have different video
and audio controller chips than their unmarked counterparts. Unmarked
means there is nothing following the serial number.
The following table describes several ways to tell the OmniBook 900 and
the OmniBook 900 B apart.
