Up for grabs
Want a Webplayer?

Ok,
I have come to the conclusion that I have no spare time to play with my Webplayer. I also have a "dead" webplayer for parts. I imagine it is time to get rid of the both of them since I never get to use them. My working unit has a 800 meg harddrive conected with the IDE cable I purchased from BadFlash. I also purchased the 40->44 pin adapter so I could load the harddrive with win98se and corresponding drivers. I have it on my home LAN via a Xircom PGENET10 USB NIC which performs flawlessly. I mainly used this thing for my Digital Picture Frame/Caller ID/MP3 Player. I plan to get rid of everything at once... a package deal. Please email me at Holycow for more info. I have one of the original boxes and am looking for around $140 the whole package. I have more invested into thes two units, but I need the room and hate to see these Webplayers go to waste.

Part List (Whole Package)
1 Virgin WebPlayer (stock)
1 Virgin Webplayer (dead)
---> Both have working keyboard, trackball, and PSU
2 Xircom PGENET10 USB NIC
1 800 meg Harddrive (w/ win98se)
1 40->44 pin adapter
1 44 pin IDE cable

Here's my original configuration before my 1.2 gig harddrive died.

Right now I only have win98se on it for Internet browsing.

Drop me a note if interested.

To answer a few emails...
The Dead Webplayer has a bad BIOS. When I original received the unit it would only post, I would never get the BIOS screen or any display. The screen would light up, but that was it. It would beep and respond to keyboard input. I ended up swapping the BIOS and HDD with the working webplayer to make sure it works. I am currently using this Webplayer and the other unit is my spare parts candidate.

I have two VWP that are up for grabs as well. You can email me at RovingPC
for details... Both work fine and I have extras as well (Xircom NICs, 128MB ram, Maxtor chips, etc..)
