While most people here would say there's no challenge, I thought some people might be interested in this for a network server, firewall or something.

I have seen these on eBay for ~$30+ (final bids) also. Not bad for a project. COmes with a 4-6 Gig HD, 64MB, and a Celery 500 processor.

I have one of the legacy versions on the Compaq Ipaq.

I recently put a 1 ghz P3 in it and upgraded the bios and it works GREAT!!!!

Nice for a system to record my phone calls.

I got my system up and running with Win98SE (Not my first choice, but the video didn't seem to work in BeOS, Slax, or others). My next big question is can anyone tell me where I might get a "multibay" CD-ROM for it? Would other Compaq/HP multibay drives (for laptops)work?

Thanks

Tom
