Hi!

I received a reply from info at compules.nl and they had
one Omnibook 425 left.

It has 8Mb RAM (2Mb on board + 6 Mb in expansion slot),
a 40 Mb HD, and comes with the original box, manuals, power
adapter and cord, a 9-pin serial cable, 9 to 25 pin adapter and
a "HP Omnibook Companion disk".

The price was 62.95 EUR (90 USD) including S&H. It should
arrive sometime next week.

It is a bit expensive for such a old machine but I thought it was
worth it considering that I got the box, manuals and the other things
that the machine originally came with.

Here is the image I got from them by email. Quality isn't all that good,
probably taken by a cellphone considering the resolution (320x240).

Thanks to Jean-Yves for helping me out!

What I wonder now is; is it possible to replace the HD by using
a 1Gb CF card and a CF/PCMCIA adapter?

I tried reading the archives but got bored after five hours worth of
emails from 1995.
