I just got one from  Rent- A-Center for $7.00 bucks. 

C' mon guys, Do yourself a favor and add some more RAM then install 2000 or XP on your web PC. Forget the restore CD. You are just limiting yourself and your web PC with that P-O-S.

Hi,
I just got a Dell WebPC with the 3Com NIC/Modem combo a while ago. I was told it was a prerelease model.
My problem now is that I wanted to migrate the computer to windows 2000 or 2003 but neither has drivers for the 3Com combo thing. A search with the 3Com number on the 3Com website also doesn't return any usefukl matches. That leads me to the conclusion that the pcmcia card was some custom oem card just built for dell and so driver support is rather bad.
I even set up my dell webPB with the recovery cd just now, but not even that cd has the right modem drivers for the windows 98. it only has the NIC drivers.
Oh yeah something else: Does anybody now the product number and/or manufacturer of the mainboard and does anybody know what the highest pIII processor that it will accept is? I also want to swap that DVD drive for a Toshiba or NEC slimline DVD burner. Will I get trouble with the interface connector? physically, the dvd drive and the new dvd burners look identical, but i don't know about the interface. Any suggestions?

That is very strange. I ordered the modem/NIC combo and Windows XP installed the drivers for it during the install. Sorry, I am not sure what advice I can give on getting your original combo card to work since there aren't any 3rd party drivers available. However, there are other mini PC cards you can put in the web PC including wireless Ethernet and even a USB 2.0 card.

You can put in any socket 370 CPU that runs at 66 or100mhz fsb not including Tualatin Celerons. The motherboard is an Intel Birchwood. Good luck finding any information on it. Some users have reported getting the board to recognize 256 mb sticks. I can not.

i dont know if this will work or not but when i was trying to find the drivers for this computer i was looking on the 3com website and they only had one mini pc card listed and i downloade that driver and it seemed to install on windows 2000 but i never got a chance to test it because i was running behind on my scedual *i am in computer repair and had 3 other people to help that day* and sence i installed it they havent called me back so i am not shure if it worked or not.  if i hear back i will let ya know. 

Also did you ever find a copy of the restore disks?  i am trying to find a copy myself and the local rent-a-center dosnt have any :(

Windows 2000 drivers for the combo card can be downloaded from the link below. I got my nic to work under 2000, but not the modem. Not sure if it doesn't work or if the modem driver isn't compatible. My mom has the Celeron WebPC version with just the modem and got hers to work after a few downloads of various drivers.

This driver from the Latitude C600 will get your nic to work.
