I hate to post such a brazenly commercial "wanted to buy" to -mobile, but I figured I'd get the best deals possible from this forum. I'm looking to acquire a couple of laptops for testing. It has become clear to me that my VAIO is just too friendly to the current code and I need some active hostility that only a Dell Lattitude or Compaq Presario can offer :-). To that end, I'm looking to purchase/trade second hand laptops for a reasonable amount. I don't have much money to spend on this project, so last year's models are what I had in mind. Or even the year before's. I may consider broken machines that work well enough for my testing purposes. Bad lcd, but working vga port, for example. They do need to be able to boot FreeBSD and have the ability to insert/remove pccard/cardbus cards, apm suspend functioning and ideally would operate on battery power. That last one isn't absolutely required. It would also be nice if they had enough disk for a make installworld to fit with about 20MB + 4x RAM to spare (for crash dumps, swap and the like). I think that puts the lower limit at about 600MB. If you have an old laptop gathering dust that you'd like to contribute to the cause, or that you'd make a good deal for me, please contact me off the list.
