    I have a Mark 2 for sale. (Actually I have 2 nearly identical units)
    Condition excellent.
    It has:
    Touchscreen working.
    Back-lit Keyboard.
    OEM caddy w/ 5400/40 drive.
    Panasonic power supply.
    Blue-tab battery looks new -- not guaranteed.('cause it's used) :)
    Floppy drive.
    I bought them, cleaned off the sticker residue, cracked the case and changed the thermal pads. These are very clean with a wear pattern from some sort of attachment on the right side. Bottoms clean w/NO heavy scratches.

    Take a look.

    Thank you.

    Doing a bit of reorganizing. These are still for sale and as nice as ever. I was running out of room with the computers all listed at the bottom there. (in the sig)
    Also I've been going through and deleting sold units in BST here and at TBT.
    I ran that sig pic a while back, then it wasn't loading right. It's one image built with a freebie called mashup from Ubuntu.

    Double post but to answer a PM I received.

    I advertise these with Ubuntu but XPP factory restore is also an option. Or dual/boot with my magic 10.04 Ubuntu Custom disk. (10.10 upgrade)

    Magic is not my term...one of the lads called it that. He's VERY happy.

    Just .~wine, Chromium and a few tools I got from Ubuntu software center. Also calibrate_touchscreen is set up to run dropping the results in the right file.

    Not much. :D

    I have one media bay drive ide,pata sata IONO. Acronyms are not my forte. (I know words like forte though :D)
    The problem is it would have to come from my MK5 Ultimate......W7 main/ Ubuntu media bay. You'd be better off w/ the MK5. :)

    'ats an idea though. I'll take a look around. You're talking about OEM media bay drives?

    Thanks for everything.
