Could you send a copy for me now? :) Well, OTOH, I can look them up on 
the Acer's website.

IMO, that would make a lot of sense, indeed.

1 and 2 should be easiest (if effective), probably. It should be 
relatively easy to find the manufacturer's drivers for other ALC260 
laptops on the Internet. Then we could at least try to compare Acer's 
ini with Fujitsu's with HP's. Hopefully, that would help us. I'll try 
to dig into this right now. :)
