That reminds me that I have a Chembook laptop in the closet gathering dust.  
I think it's a 486DX2-66.  Has hard drive (don't recall size), CD drive (NOT 
CD-RW), 3.5 FD and PCMCIA that may still have an Ethernet port plugged in.  OS 
was Windows 3.11 but I'll have to check whether the Setup disks are in the 
boxes with all the driver disks or not.  A friend tried to install NT 4.0 on it.  
Don't think he ever got it working, and I haven't tried to turn it on since.  
Battery is undoubtedly dead but it has AC adaptor, and tote bag.  Price 
negotiable!  :-)
