laptop..

[tkeller at helpdesk.mso.stratus.com]

I've had great luck with my HP 4100.  Also the HP XE2 (whitch has the
cdrom and floppy all in one) looks like it'll work fine as well.  On both
machines I've been able to get them to boot off of El Tortito volumes,
even though the XE2 has a DVD drive in it.

Hope that helps.
