I bought this:

It worked. And it has 48Mb RAM (maximum), and a 64Mb CF card (woo), and a PCMCIA Ethernet card with no dongle. Those have got to be worth about 1/4 of what I paid for it ;)
You just can't kill Windows CE devices. Maybe he had trouble starting it because there was no cloverleaf power cable... I need to find one of those, since I tested with Siani's laptop power cord. It's charging now and just needs 2 AAA batteries for the backup power source. If I can find a WiFi card, I have a lightweight IRC/AIM thing, or notepad to cart about.
