I have many (over a dozen) P100s to P166s available.  The problem I've been 
finding with this vintage machine, is that the BIOS doesn't support large 
drives.   Most of these currently have single 830 MB drive in them.  If you 
want to work with or around that limitation, drop me a line.  I've got some 
other equipment that you may interested in as well.
