Yes, the port replicator on this thing is nifty as all hell. And suitably tiny - about the size of a king-size Cherry Ripe.
Somewhere around here I've got an earlier P100 to P166 Satellite. CPU speed on that never really encouraged me to do much towards getting it working, but a Mobile P300 is another story
Apparently my friend's friend had three being surplused from work (/edit/ an upscale girl's private school with a lifetime IT service contract, so you know it's been well maintained), with only one charger between them - at least that was enough to test them all. So I've been assured that this boots. And she's offered to pony up for a replacement battery if it needs one.
/*/ on closer inspection, the power socket is more like the two-pin connectors used on RC car battery packs. A two pin jumper would fit, but the socket is keyed for polarity. Which provides me an easy and cheap get-out on replacing or re-celling the LiPo pack
I'm orf to the markets in search of RAM &c
All around, I say w00t!
