I went to the computer show in November 
http://www.marketplaceshows.com (next one in January) and got two 
Toshiba Satellite Pro T2400CS for $75. They're 80486, but they've got 
SCSI-II and dual PCMCIA ports type III and II built in.  I want to 
make a portable CD tower burner/ripper.  I figure when I get it 
finished, I can bring it to the meetings, so people can convert their 
CDs to MP3 and burn their favorite distros too (as if we don't get 
enough distro donations).
I'll try to dig out the receipt.  If you're interested in getting 
their number, email me offline.  I think they're in Orlando.
