I've got a 440CDT here that works, 'cept the CD-ROM is shot, so I cant
boot off of it... any suggestions on cheaply finding a replacement?
Its an XM-1502BN.

Weight and such and screen doesent really matter as long as it runs
Windows and does 800x600 and has a sound card with *inputs* - I'm
just using this for a RTTY/PKS31/weatherfax receiver with my shortwave
receiver.
