If you are responding to someone asking for help who
may not be a member of this list, be sure to use the
REPLY TO ALL feature of your email program.
=====================================================

I have a T20 (built in 3rd/4th QTR 2000, actually an open-box return from Zones.COM.
It's a P3-650, 128MB, >10GB HD. It has a Lucent Winmodem (I got a driver from the Dr.
Martinus Notebook/2 site), but I have a PCMCIA Ethernet card.

The A drive is swappable with the CD-ROM drive. Not a big deal now that
Convenience Pak & eComStation are bootable from CD, and the T20 is capable of
booting from CD.

Let me know if you have any more questions or if you'd like me to show you my T20.
