You can buy a used P3 laptop for $200 to $300 bucks with better spec than your old Omnibook. So, if i were you, why not just get a better one?
It's a long story why replacing the omnibook is not pactical. Let me just say that kumander don't want anything heavier or larger than the omnibook. Try looking for a notebook less than 1.8 kg, with parallel port, and operates on 12VDC adapter. Replacing the HD for $200 is still best for her.
