I suppose you could get the techincal specs from Toshiba or whoever made the laptops. (I know IBM keeps its specs on-line.)
However you may have another option if the notebooks are 486. There's a company that's an offshoot of Evergreen called Maximum Upgrades Inc. They uprade 486 notebooks to AMD 5x86 chips at anywhere from 100mhz to 133mhz depending on the notebook. One of the best options because at that point these will be decent Linux notebooks or even portable small servers.:-)
Personally I think the Aero is far to much the "name" of Compaq rather than a good product. The Philips Nino color palm seems a much better product or even a Palm Pilot IIIx. Keep looking - especially on E-Bay. I just got a Uniden PC-100 off there for about $140. It's not color but it'll do for what I need it to do. Anybody know a good place to get Linux for the Philips CPU Palms?;-)

True it IS fun but I'm just a freak about "underutilized" hardware.
Although...Hmmm...fun IS a utilization....
Forget what I said earlier! (Where's that damn soldering iron...)
