The whole webpage would be great 
take your time if you need it, I'm in no rush -- just do like one or two paragraphs a day if that helps.
I picked up a nice condition Compaq E500. 14" XGA (1024x768), parallel port, IR, 2x PCMICIA, 1 USB (1.1), built in FDD, Composite Video out (although I'll be upgrading that to S-Video), and a DE9 serial port. Only problems are: 1) the serial port is missing pin 1, so I'll have to fix that; 2) a laughable 256MB of RAM *; and a paltry 10GB HDD.
It has Windows Server 2000 on it now, runs fine, battery lasts longer than I thought eBay could provide for a 25$ laptop (I had a E500 a couple years ago and liked it, until the power jack broke). Once I take care of these issues I'll set about figuring out the adaptor.
*: The Ethernet port is non operational, I assume because lack of driver support (shows up as such). Linux 10.04LTS wouldn't even load. 9.10 takes an unholy amount of time to even boot the live CD and took at least an hour to install. I don't have any compatible PC100 or similar memory at this time.
