The 701 butterfly is becoming a classic, a collector machine..
most likely the very first contemporary classic..
most already know there is one on display in the museum of modern art in
NYC..
while they will run win98 and others say NT4, they are becoming a bit
slow..
the beat up ones are available occasionally for $100 to $300 depending..
a really perfect and complete one would be worth about $500 to $700, not
based upon speed or max memory,
but based on the small size, simple design and so forth..
I recently had the cpu upgraded in one of my 701C machines so as to see
if the speed increase was really worth the $$..
i suggest that you watch the misc.portables newsgroup and other thinkpad
forum for sale ads..
(beware of EBay since you are ultimately dealing with an unknown seller)
so far the max HDD size the 701 will support is 6.5gigs, and max memory
is 40megs on the 486/75 machine..
