    Ok,
    A local PC shop has about 12 CF-71's in various stages of working and non-working..

    He asked me, so I'm asking you guys...

    What are these things worth?

    I think they are P4's..

    If I need more info to give you guys, let me know, I'll hassle him for it.

    My CF-71 is a

    CF-71KY MK4 but with a P3 450Mhz instead of a P3 366 MHZ

    serial number is CF-71KYCQCA3

    processor is a coppermine , 32kb 1nd level cache, 256kb 2nd level cache

    with a neomagic graphic chip.

    Thing works alright, but i prefer my CF-27 and CF-28 laptops, because they are better protected against water,dust and also better protected when falling/dropped on a concrete floor.

    I dont know if a CF-71 would survive a drop from a concrete stairs, 1 meter below... .

    Well... Looking at the specs you guys listed, I don't think he will get diddly for them.

    Maybe I can scrape one together for my toddler to use.
