It will be a good idea to specify the following:

1) The type of Cyberstorm (MK I or II)
2) How much RAM is on the Cyberstorm
3) How much RAM is on the mobo
4) The condition of the battery
5) Whether the PIV is in one piece or not
6) Any manuals available

Spudley...

Here is a picture of my PIV. Notice the bottom right hand side of the card (ignore the thing with the ribbon cable, that's a Concierto add on). Does your PIV have that bottom right-hand part with the pins?

And here is my Cyberstorm MKII:

Ignore the fan, stuck on the CPU with double-sided tape. The thing about a MKII (compared to a MKI) is that the memory and CPU are all on one board. It is much more compact than a MKI.

It is very important that you find out whether it is a MKII and whether the PIV has the scandoubler. It will make a big difference in price.

Also, as you have stated that the battery is not in good condition, it would be a good idea to post pics of that, so that potential buyers can get some kind of idea of the expense involved in repairing it.

It doesn't make a difference. If he doesn't have the part I told him to look for, he doesn't have a SD/FF. Now what do you think is more likely:

1) It has no SD/FF because somebody damaged/removed just the SD/FF components from the board (but didn't remove the part of the board that goes in the video slot).

2) It has no SD/FF because somebody removed the part of the board that goes in the video slot (but didn't damage any SD/FF components on the card).

Do you see what I mean? You can see what the gist of my questions are to Spudley, why complicate matters?
