BTW, I've got a totally pimped-out P/233 laptop with a great 1024x768 TFT display, keyboard in good shape, power brick and "usable" battery (on the order of 20-30 minutes) with 144 Meg RAM available if anyone is interested. I got it for a few dollars, *boght* a power adapter and memory SIMM to max it out - probably got just over $50 invested - if anyone wants it, I'd take $50 and toss in shipping...

It currently has Win2K installed (COA attached on laptop), and has a serial port on board, but no built-in Ehternet, but a PCMCIA (aka PC Card) card would handle that for you...

If interested, please contact me off list...

I also have a portmaster available...
