I have a Toshiba S1800 (P3 1 Gig 512 Ram) that was running Ubuntu until my son fried the CMOS chip, now it will not boot. I was going to try and sell it for spares as the screen and power supply are still working, but you are welcome to the ram chip, or chips as I'm not sure if it has one or two, if they are suitable for your machines. No cash required. Cheers, Barry -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
