Motorola ML900 OS

I recently acquired a few Motorola ML900 laptops. The first one I am looking at has the FireWire port on the right side next to 2 USB ports and the Ethernet port. The OS product key is no longer on the unit. Was just wondering what OS these units shipped with when new (XP Home or XP Pro). Did Motorola load them up with specific software?

Windows 2000 or Windows XP Pro. Specific drivers - yes.

In your signature, under OS on ML900s:, I see listed Win 7 Professional. Are you running/have you run Win 7 Pro on a ML900?

Jason,

Already have. Still interested in anything original with these machines as I rebuild a system.

Yes, Win7 pro on ML900 1.8 GHz unit with little changes as Win 7 doesn´t support underlocking (extra utility needed) and with upgraded graphics driver. No problems at all.

"underlocking" - I'm guessing underclocking? Why are you underclocking? (programming older radios?)
