Hi Derek,

   If they are willing to spend a little time testing - why not point 
them to the eCS Demo CD, http://www.ecomstation.com/democd/  ask them to 
download and burn it (or you could do this for them and post them the 
CD) and ask them to try booting each model they have to see if any of 
them work - this might at least narrow down the field a little ?

Cheers/2
