I called Dell and there's good news and some not so good news. The most
important thing is they do have a 4X DVD-ROM drive and plug in PCMCIA
card available for my model (Dell Latitude CP M233ST). I'm guessing the
card will have video and audio out. Don't know for sure, since the
department to order it is closed, so also don't know the price.
There is 64 MB RAM so it does meet all the DSL minimum requirements.
In video, it doesn't do so hot. It's 2MB video memory with a maximum
resolution of 640 x 480 (?, don't remember the exact number) (this is a
decent JPEG quality image, I'm assuming. But fairly useless for any kind
of DV editing, I'm told. I can add a 1394 Firewire Port, but I can't
upgrade the video memory.
I guess I should have asked about a printer/scanner/copier, but I
forgot. I'll ask when I call tomorrow. Maybe get a price on a backup
battery as well.
