Finished work on these two great portable retro machines.

Left - Latitude C600. Had a lot of work to do OS wise - already had installed 2k w/ USP5, all updates. Only had to install Blackwingcat's extended kernel.
Specs:
-P3 Coppermine 1GHz - socket 495 (very small chip!)
-ATI Rage Mobility 128 (M3) 8MB
-40GB Hitachi HDD
-HL-DT-ST GSA-T20N DVD drive (kinda janky as I can't find the original plastic bay that slots in - funny enough I do have the proprietary DELL PCB that connects the DVD to the bay!)
Right - Gericom Supersonic M6-T 1200. A literal powerhouse of a mobile P3 implementation - full blown VIA 694T onboard + Tualatin P3 1.2GHz. Needed some RAM cleaning. It's also the only machine I have that actually runs a Tualatin chip - all my desktop PGA370 mainboards are limited to Coppermine only (not counting pinmods.). Runs 98SE w/ Plus!, KEX4.52 and NUSB3.6.
Specs:
-P3 Tualatin 1.2GHz - socket 370 (forgot the S-Spec but I can confirm it's a chonky Tualatin chip, the thicc IHS further confirms it)
-ATI Radeon VE/7000 (M6) 16MB
-60GB Western Digital HDD
-Panasonic DVD-RW (forgot the model but it's about the only drive I could match the bezel from the original Gericom drive to)
