[Cialug] Laptop for sale: Compaq Armada 1700

[kristau]

This is a "classic" Compaq Armada 1700 laptop, built like a tank.  Output
from cpuinfo, meminfo and lspci are at the end of this message, but here is
an overview:

CPU: Pentium II 233 MHz
RAM: 32 MB
Hard Drive: 5 GB
3.5" Floppy drive
CD ROM drive
Ports:
 2 x serial (one 9-pin, one IR)
 1 x parallel
 1 x USB
 1 x VGA
 1 x PS/2
 2 x PCMCIA slots
 2 x audio (one mic in, one headphone out)
Screen: approximately 12 inches diagonal
OS installed: Windows 9x (didn't look too close, but I can confirm if
requested)
Battery life test: system ran from a full charge for about 1 hour and 25
minutes with the following processes running:
* 'top' running in the first VT
* 'burnP5' running in the second
* 'watch -n 7 -d apm -v' in the third
* 'while true; do hexdump -C /dev/hda; done' in the fourth
I unplugged the power after launching the first two, then started the second
two after about 9 minutes in to the test because it was till at 100%.
Cosmetics: Excellent.  No scratches, cracks or discoloration on the case.
The LCD has no stuck pixels (couldn't easily check for dead ones as I was in
console mode).
Power supply: built in.  It comes with just a mains power lead, so there is
no power brick to carry about.

Not the zippiest old laptop, but I'm selling this for a co-worker.  They
paid $100 for it and would like to recoup most, if not all of that cost.
Please e-mail offers direct to me at kristau at gmail.com.  I'm not willing to
ship this, but I can bring it to the next CIALUG meeting to exchange it for
cash.  Thanks!

As promised, some more details.  I booted the system from a knoppix 5 CD
with the following boot parameters:
'knoppix 2 nodma noudev vga=0'
It will not run X due to insufficient RAM.  nodma was required so it would
boot from the CD.  noudev was required because it hung loading udev.  vga=0
was required because the bottom console lines were beyond the bottom edge of
the screen in the default vga mode (80x50 I believe?).
