I wouldn't have any use for such a machine outside of compatibility testing with Debian, and I can't guarantee I'd be successful at that; but if you think *you* would get benefit out of a fix for Debian on Multia, I'd be willing to receive it and work on this in odd moments. > The main problem is that 2 of them have a dead JBAT and thus won't boot. > Obviously I'd rather keep the one working JBAT, but then you can probably > lay your hands on a 4.5V battery somewhere.
