RE:IBM NetVista Internet Appliance (modified 0 times) keith721 Profile You're right - finding any 'technical' information on these is a bit difficult. Most of what Google turned up were press releases, news, and advertising...

RE:IBM NetVista Internet Appliance (modified 0 times) zmoz Profile Anybody know where to get one of these, and how much they cost? 05-26-2002 19:02:38

RE:IBM NetVista Internet Appliance (modified 1 times) cenywtyl Profile | Email codeman, Any chance of digging the data sheet out on this one? They are starting to trickle out onto the market. They may be the next new toy. 05-28-2002 13:09:05

RE:IBM NetVista Internet Appliance Price and location (modified 0 times) tkrabec Profile http://www.pcsurplusonline.com/viewprod.cfm?ID=811 when I looked they were 149.99 for a refurb model -- Tim 05-28-2002 17:29:41

RE:IBM NetVista Internet Appliance (modified 0 times) zmoz Profile Not bad...if its hackable 05-28-2002 23:38:34

RE:IBM NetVista Internet Appliance (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile If you live in Seattle, and you want to see one "live in action" Seattle laptop on Aurora has one on display. I'm not sure if it is the EXACT same model. Caution! They want a small fortune for it! (They also are selling the $67 IBM 8GB pcmcia external harddrive that ckbone tipped us on for $299) Rather nice looking unit. I may even get one from pc surplus just for the heck of it. (Watch the price go up in a couple days after there is a demand for it). Please if someone visits them don't tell them about this netvisita price at pc surplus. They (Seattle laptop) may buy mass units and none left for anyone else. 05-29-2002 04:50:46

RE:IBM NetVista Internet Appliance (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile My spell check was turned off... NetVista. 05-29-2002 04:53:47

RE:IBM NetVista Internet Appliance (modified 0 times) jamesdouglas Profile | Email whats the $67 8gb pcmcia drive all about???? Ifd be interested if someone would grab me one, Ill paypal! 05-29-2002 06:43:18

RE:IBM NetVista Internet Appliance (modified 0 times) cenywtyl Profile | Email codeman has been kind enough to add a "NetVista" section under "Other I-appliances". I ordered one from pcsurplus a couple days ago. Once I get it I'll open it up and take some pictures. 05-29-2002 07:14:28

RE:IBM NetVista Internet Appliance (modified 0 times) mbaha Profile I am surprised that Seattle Laptop has a internet appliance. I tried to get some parts for my webplayer and they didn't what I was talking about or what a mini-pci card was. Plus as you stated they charge $700 for a 100 mhz laptop. I'll stop buy today and check them out. PC liquidator is selling them on ebay for the same price plus $15 shipping so it's cheaper to buy them off their webpage. Codeman- If find that please post it. So it has a built in IDE header and modem and Ethernet any word on a touch screen. MBAHA hack your own you will love it more 05-29-2002 10:25:59

RE:IBM NetVista Internet Appliance (modified 0 times) mbaha Profile the netvista that seattle laptop has is full computer ie celery 633 10 gig cd-rom. It's a pretty cool computer even if it's $200 over priced. mbaha hack your own you will love it more 05-29-2002 12:51:39

RE:IBM NetVista Internet Appliance (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile My Bad on the IBM netvista @ Seattle laptop. It's a different model Netvista. Ocitech in Redmond is selling IBM NetVista 2179-GG1 for $479. Yeah kinda spendy but considering the upgrading of the Netvista IA it may be worth it for some?

RE:IBM NetVista Internet Appliance (modified 1 times) mbaha Profile I take that back they are selling their netvista for $850 so it's about $350 over priced. check this out I would prolly buy one if I had $500 around http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2028016488 hack your own you will love it more 05-29-2002 12:56:46

RE:IBM NetVista Internet Appliance (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Talked with Harlen? My hearing is bad...background noise. He said it's upgradable to P-III 733 and may be up to P-III 933? Please don't tell about this website yet... Sounds like he may jack the price right now if a lot of interest! Late lunch gotta go back to work! 05-29-2002 13:15:13
