Diesel specs

I've been working on updating my current wearable. Just thought I'd send 
it here along with the systems Omar sent.

/===============================\
| Specs for Diesel, MarkII v2.0 |
\===============================/

This is a real power system. With a 266MHz Pentium processor, it's as
powerful as the most advanced laptops on the market. The first part of the
specs parallel Omar's as far as what's listed, in order to give a price
comparison. The second half adds other peripherals that he either ommited
or isn't using. 

This is a full system to rival any desktop. It runs at 266MHz and has 64MB
of RAM. It supports VGA and 16bit audio i/o. There is a PCMCIA module
which holds two type II cards or one type III card. A 3.2GB hard drive is
enough, even if you're running Windows95. With two Lithium-ion batteries
(in parallel?), this system is long-lived between charges. 

Unfortunately, there is no affordable display that interfaces with a CRT
port yet, so the P5 seems to be the most viable option with a serial
interface. As far as I know, the JUMPtec CPU is vaporwear, but I'm hoping
it's not. My current processor is the Ampro CoreModulei486/133 with 16MB
RAM (Diesel, MarkII v1.0) which works well. The final dimensions should be
5.5"x5.5"x2.75", but could possibly be made smaller if a custom case is
built.

I already have most of these parts, except for the JUMPtec card and the
P5, which still isn't in production as far as I'm aware. This is
definitely a high-end system IMO. Any comments/criticisms of it? Sorry I 
don't have all the prices listed, but I couldn't find all of my receipts 
offhand.
