[PLUG] Reclamation of a Dell Latitude LM (P166)
|
A co-worker asked me if I could find any use for an old laptop.
It's a Pentium MMX 166, Dell Latitude LM, no ethernet, PC modem card, swappable floppy and CD drive.
It seems to be in good shape -- just suffering outdated specs.
Assuming I figure out how to swap out the floppy for the CD so I can stick Linux on this puppy, what else could I do with it? Is it possible to connect it to ethernet, and where could I find an adapter? Can I connect a USB drive to it?
Would it be possible to convert this beast into something comparable to the not-quite-wimpy $100 laptops they have now?
Thanks in advance.

Michael - thanks for the URL. Awesome to
bookmark that URL and have it open in
my media player, instead of requiring a browser window to be open. But I'm curious how you tracked down the
URL. I've tried "viewing source" and failed at finding
it.
Again,
thanks!
