Yesterday I wasn't able to get BeaFanatIX (BFX) to boot on the Tecra, which was weird, given that the same disc booted on a recent model Dell. I did a full erase on the CD (I think I had done a "quick erase" last time), reburned it, and now the Tecra can boot with it.
I don't know if the problem really was the "quick erase" but in the future I need to be mindful that just because a disc boots on one machine doesn't mean the disc isn't bad.
BFX is properly detecting the PCMCIA ethernet card. It's also doing a very good job with the display, at least when it boots with my 17" monitor attached (otherwise it gives only one resolution option, which is way too low).
Everything is performing pretty well, except video (I had to install the Flash plug-in manually). It may be that the Tecra 550CDT simply isn't capable of playing video at an acceptable frame rate.
