Here's how we finally finished the project:
I left Sadlmkr’s ranch this morning after a 42 hour Toughbook endeavor that included MUCH tinkering on the M33 project. Sadlmkr & Safn were key elements in final success along with Shawn's 128 mb RAM modules he sent. We never could add a Linux system via usb and CD, despite our attempts with Plop Boot Manager. We used the port replicator and Panasonic floppy drive that came with the M-33's. We finally had success by putting a system on the hard drive of a M-34, and then transplanting the hard drive into the little M-33.
Safn was a wizard dismantling the Toughbooks and then re-assembling the bootable hard drive back into the M-33. We settled on simple Linux distributions that work on the M-34 and CF-28‘s, and were delighted when they booted up and found Bell Springs INTERNET link. Just remember that the M-33‘s have a different trackball mouse setup. The top button is your “Left” click, and the bottom button is “Right” click that we are so used to.
Late last night we were frustrated and ready to give up, when Sadlmkr persisted and discovered the mouse protocol. Yes, a few screws turned up missing, so if anyone has access to the longer screws for the M-33, please let us know.
These little M-33‘s were named “nits” and “tank”. We would NOT have finished without the great grass fed beef from Brookings, OR. Take care and keep touch.
