Not exactly, but the 632LC. Should be close enough.

Never tried the "mini-cds'. I used 'bf24' from the ordinary cd's
flawlessly.
The internal network card is a rtl8139 (or at least use that driver).

Well, it's not a report but here's some notes that might be helpful:
You'll probably want the binary driver from Nvidia, at least I
couldn't get xfrees 'nv-driver working.
The sound is NOT a trident even though some other distros say so, I
had to use alsa (090rc3 at the time) snd-card-ali5451 or similar.
I've been told that the "shorcut" keys work (or at least almost) with
the driver from http://www.math.columbia.edu/~jensen/linux/acertm/ but
haven't yet tried for myself.
At http://mobilix.org/touchpad_driver.html you'll find drivers for
the touch pad "wheel button", I got the buttons recognized but not
perfectly working. Might be configurable though (or there might even be
a never version).
I couldn't get battery / temperature sensors etc working with APM,
with ACPI they work but the computer won't poweroff properly on
'poweroff' :-(
And lastly links to some resources I found that may, or may not, be
useful:
