multifunctional for the docking bay and the laptop ? It has no users manual

Are you sure that is the model number as it looks a little unusual for a  
Compaq  to me.  If you can confirm, I may be able to locate a user  
manual in my archives for you. If I have it, it will be in PDF format.

Yes, the power adapter works with both the MEU and the system.
 
Lots of information available if you go to www.hp.com/support select the US  
and enter Armada M300 in the little box. You will have access to all the  
documentation and software updates..
 
You might want to upgrade the memory by adding a 256MB chip (under the  
keyboard) and then it runs XP really nicely (I have 2 of them like that )

I'm slowly getting there !  Discovered that a colleague lent the CD to  
someone. I will have it back in about 14 hours from now. The good news  
is that the M300 is on the CD so I will email via SendItNow.com as soon  
as I have it back.

Hello again
 
Apologies for the delay. I  only got the CD back 10 minutes ago.  I am  
about to send it to you. It is a  large file - 10.5 MB and I am only on  
a dial up connection this morning as our broadband link down, so it will  
take some time to reach you. Coming via  YouSendIt.com .

Any suggestions on what make of 256 MB RAM card to install ?

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.compaq (More info?)

These are lovely laptops but very picky about memory :

Of the three chips i have tried so far only one works ,

256MB ibm pc100 - won't even boot (but might be dodgy chip)
128mb micron pc133 - works great
256mb compaq pc133 - boots but errors in memtest86 and os wont start

all are CL3 , has anyone tried CL2 chips ?

can anyone recommend a specific 256 SODIMM that works ?
