Laptop wanted - cheap with USB port

[geoffm]

Looking for a cheap laptop for the dyno - my dyno controller has croaked and the new ones are USB based (plus they ahve other advantages).
So - anyone with a cheap laptop, running XP preferred as it makes setup easier. Doesn't need much ram or hard drive (but needs some) and with a USB port or 2. Doesn't need a working battery. Must be cheap, since this has become even more a of a shoestring project recently.
Someone must have one in the back of a cupboard somewhere.
A cheap inkjet would be nice too.

USB 2.0 required?

I have a Toshiba laptop somewhere, battery lasts 2 mins but latop runs fine when plugged into power. The screen has trouble standing up by itself, but is ok at the right angle or easily propped up resting on something.

Got USBs and all, not bad specs really, was a refurbished lappy when I bought it.

Runs xp and all.

PM me if you're interested.

PS Would I get a free Dyno done on my bike to um "test" the software? :bleh:

I would like to offer my bike to be used as a test machine for your dyno :eek:

No USB 1 is ok. The data stream isn't that fast and the datalogger has a built in memory.

Believe i've got a A10 Satellite (http://reviews.digitaltrends.com/review/1336-4/toshiba-satellite-a10-s128-review-specs) sitting around, still runs alright... Consider it yours if it'll do the trick
