I looked at the specs for that machine and I didn't see anything about
built in stereo. If it has built in stereo, I might look into getting
one. I'm trying to find other PDAs that have built in stereo that run
NetBSD.

I still like this one though. I have an 802.11b card on the way. Need
to get another battery too, mine seems fried.
