Re: [PLUG] OT: wanted busted laptop for use as server

["W.Chris Shank" <chris.shank@acetechgroup.com>]

I've got a compaq with very similar specs, 486 DX75, 24M, apprx 700M  
HDD (don't recall exactly) - RH6.x already installed. I used to use it  
as my dial up router, but it's just sitting there now.

Also have a compaq(?) 486 laptop that i took apart (it did work though)  
because I wanted to graft the LCD onto an embedded computer, but never  
had time to finish.

that reminds me - i have an embedded computer too - but it needs a  
PC104 card for ethernet - it didn't have built in ethernet- but it may  
have built in USB - I don't recall. I have a 2.5in 1.3G HDD that works  
great with it. probably more trouble than it's worth - unless you like  
doing that kind of thing for fun - like i did - when i used to have  
time, before i had children...
