This is a "classic" Compaq Armada 1700 laptop, built like a tank. Output from cpuinfo, meminfo and lspci are at the end of this message, but here is an overview:<br><br>CPU: Pentium II 233 MHz<br>RAM: 32 MB<br>
Hard Drive: 5 GB<br>3.5" Floppy drive<br>CD ROM drive<br>Ports:<br> 2 x serial (one 9-pin, one IR)<br> 1 x parallel<br> 1 x USB<br> 1 x VGA<br> 1 x PS/2<br> 2 x PCMCIA slots<br> 2 x audio (one mic in, one headphone out)
<br>Screen: approximately 12 inches diagonal<br>OS installed: Windows 9x (didn't look too close, but I can confirm if requested)<br>Battery life test: system ran from a full charge for about 1 hour and 25 minutes with the following processes running:
<br>* 'top' running in the first VT<br>* 'burnP5' running in the second<br>* 'watch -n 7 -d apm -v' in the third<br>* 'while true; do hexdump -C /dev/hda; done' in the fourth<br>I unplugged the power after launching the first two, then started the second two after about 9 minutes in to the test because it was till at 100%.
<br>Cosmetics: Excellent. No scratches, cracks or discoloration on the case. The LCD has no stuck pixels (couldn't easily check for dead ones as I was in console mode).<br>Power supply: built in. It comes with just a mains power lead, so there is no power brick to carry about.
<br><br>Not the zippiest old laptop, but I'm selling this for a co-worker. They paid $100 for it and would like to recoup most, if not all of that cost. Please e-mail offers direct to me at <a href="mailto:kristau@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
kristau@gmail.com</a>. I'm not willing to ship this, but I can bring it to the next CIALUG meeting to exchange it for cash. Thanks!<br><br>As promised, some more details. I booted the system from a knoppix 5 CD with the following boot parameters:
<br>'knoppix 2 nodma noudev vga=0'<br>It will not run X due to insufficient RAM. nodma was required so it would boot from the CD. noudev was required because it hung loading udev. vga=0 was required because the bottom console lines were beyond the bottom edge of the screen in the default vga mode (80x50 I believe?).
