It's an old 2120 I believe. It's the small one covered with rubber cladding. I
liked it because our PTs and OTs used to carry them in the field and I just
wanted to ressurect it for some gaming use. I just reformatted the drive to
delete an old version of Ubuntu and installed Windows 7 on it. The Windows
works, just need to get it to hook up wirelessly. I did look into the Ethernet
option because it's also void of an Ethernet adapter / driver yet I believe
there are some proprietary choices in the driver selection. I will have a
looksee, thanks!
