[SPARCbook] Re: 3000XT PCMCIA cdrom problem

[Ken Hansen]

You're pissin' me off there laddie!

I thought my SPARCbook 3TX was the best (in the wild), I never saw a reall
3000 till now...

I paid a bit more than you did, but I got Solaris 2.7, 170 MHz TurboSPARC,
128 Meg and a 12 Gig HD, and a bitchin' laptop case too - but only 800x600
screen  :^(

Still cool though...
