I think that these boxes are described in the HP/Compaq Product Info

Note: The manuals on the HP/Compaq site appear to indicate that there is no high-speed USB.  Follow up on this if that is important to you.  (Edit -- added after original posting.)

Read advert carefully; these are USED boxes.  I have no vested interest... yada, yada.  Suppply your own disclaimers.  Not valid on Mars.
