I have a back- : door contact there if you have enough to consider doing a group buy, : say 10 or more machines. I have gotten them on ebay for that price range. Too bad I dropped both of mine and shattered their screens. I have doubts about 4M being enough memory to do anything beyond proof of concept. However, the chipset in them is capable of memory mapping up to 16M of PCMCIA card space, which would effectively give them 20M of main memory (but some interesting swap issues). I am in contact with someone who is actively working on a linload-like loader that I helped design. It will boot kernels <= 256k now! Too bad my MobilePros are busted, or I'd focus my attention in those areas. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
