Hi all,

After several years of dis-use, I've decided to put my 800CT and all my 
accessories I picked up on E-bay.  Comes with RedHat 8.0 installed, 80 MB 
RAM, and a 4.3 GB hard drive. Includes lots of accessories and spares:

- Docking station w/graphics card
- 3Com Megahertz 10 Mbps LAN + 56K XJack Modem PCMCIA card
- Monitor stand
- 2 Omnibook CDROM Drives w/cables
- 2 Omnibook floppy drives w/cables
- 4 standard power supplies (PC + CD Drive or Docking station)
- Radio Shack heavy duty power supply (PC + CD Drive + Docking station)
- Automotive power supply
- 3 External battery chargers
- 8 batteries
- Spare LCDs
- Two spare notebooks (non-working, parts only)
- Re-printed manuals from the HP website
- Official Redhat 8.0 CDs

The starting bid is only $15.  Search for item #320223425033.

Thanks.
