Hello, I'm new to this list.
I'm playing with a 701CS (40 meg RAM & whatever hard disk I've got
free at the moment). I'm trying to do everything w/o a floppy
drive and so that generally means ripping out the hard drive
to format on my desktop PC or burning CDs and loading packages
through a Backpack CD drive. Meanwhile, I'm dissecting the old,
dead battery pack and trying to figure out if a NiCad battery
case can be safely rebuilt with NiMH batteries (the only problem
I can see is if the temperature sensing unit the in pack is
specific for the battery type).
Eventually I hope to have the 701 multibooting DOS/Win3.11, Win98
and Linux (or FreeBSD).
This laptop is so wonderfully small that I'm considering making
it my primary PC for trips.
