Does anyone know whether this would work on a Vivax TPC-800 [1], which I think could be a rebranded version of the Onda tablet? I was thinking of getting it for myself for less than $120 at my local store and using Ubuntu on it. Will it work properly, and are there drivers?<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hr.vivax.com&#x2F;vivax-tablet-tpc-800-dual-os&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hr.vivax.com&#x2F;vivax-tablet-tpc-800-dual-os&#x2F;</a>
