Mike, The 100CT and 110CT are the same, except for a faster CPU. Any 100CT or 110CT can be overclocked to 266 MHz. Interresting that you could get the Margi working with a PCMCIA DVD player. I used (several) freecoms and all where too slow... I use XP with a dvd iso copied to HD and that also works with the WDM driver. But with 98SE I don't think you can have DVD iso as they are bigger than 2Gb.
