VPR Matrix 180B5
http://www.vprmatrix.com/pdfs/spec_180B5.pdf
A friend found it in her basement when she moved in. It looks like it got ran over by a car.
The screen is not attatched anymore, holding by wires!
It won't work with any hard drive.
I have been using it with Linux knoppix on a CD, it runs well. Has 512MB PC2100, Pentium 4M@1.8GHz.

I am willing to part it out if enough people want parts.
If anyone is interested let me know.

Will it boot from usb or network?

It will boot USB. Pretty sure it won't boot network.
I almost had it running XP off a flash drive but it kept blue-screening.
Come to find out that my flash drive was too slow.

Have you tested the S-video by chance?

I just realized the spec sheet says it has VGA out, and it doesn't. It does have S-video, but I can't get it to turn on in Knoppix. Maybe some other linux dist. would detect it.

I don't have a need for a teddy-borg, or sata cables. sry.

New info- when the post screen shows, it says press F12 for network boot.
