Years ago I used to get them for nothing.  I built one as a DGPS unit once
for a geophysics friend down in Houston Texas.  I should ask him about it
but that was many years ago and I doubt it is still working.  It was fun
while it was here but I never would have paid money for it ... the laptop
that is.  The DGPS reciever and antenna was just fine but a tad pricey. 
I'd bet that it still works but I am not sure about that.  Like I said it
was quite some time ago.  You could easily convince me into wiring that one
into a PC/104 unit.

What I liked was the Chips and Technology graphics chip.  I have a few CPU
boards with the exact same chip onboard.  Works great with framebuffers on
the Linux console.  I like when that happens.
