Still available! This is the fastest TP240X ever made, so if you have been thinking about getting one, this is the one to get! I owned three TP240's before (300MHz Celeron w/ 320MB RAM, 366MHz Celeron w/ 192MB, and 400MHz Celeron w/ 192MB), and this 240X is much much faster than all three of them.

ohhh. those have an on-board serial port? might be good for VAG-COM duty.

SOLD on Craigslist for $150.
