its the model that dosent have pcmcia right? it just has that funky usbish
connector on the back like the japanese toshiba palmtop (i think one was a
a rippoff of the other). one of the profs at school had one of them, it
only ran japaneese windows 3.1 so it was pretty funky
i suppose the hardest part about getting linux on it will be getting the media
on it. afaik none of them ever came with a network card, they all connected
via that funky cable to the desktop computer.
