Hello Rasputin,

If I might be so personal, what is driving your upgrade?  I have been
interested in a Mobilepro 880 for a while but they run a little bit more on
eBay then I can spend.  Does your MP800 no longer have the power the you
need or what?  The reason that I ask is that I would hate to save up and buy
an 880 just to find that it is not usable.

Cheers thats great - if I got my 170 UKP back I'd be stoked, eBay it is then
(unless someone here wants it?) 

One last thing: the hpcmips FAQ says the USB port doesnt work on MP8XX
models.
Thats not right is it? I've had a usb0 for the past year under current -
umass etc 
attaches fine, and I've stuck USB mice on before now too...
