I have for sale an Epson Equity LT laptop. Here are the details:
NEC V30 10MHz chip (100% compatible)
640K Ram
Two 720K (3 1/2") floppy drives
Serial, Parallel, external floppy ports
Rechargeable battery - 5-7 hours with normal screen,
3 hours with super-twist screen.
About 1 year old
$350 or best offer
What's the catch? No screen. You can get the backlit screen for $196
directly from Epson (they have an 800 number for ordering), or ~150
at other mail order places.
The reason? I owned this machine and decided I wanted a hard drive on
it. I happened to find another Equity LT (without a screen) at a computer
used parts store. I took the screen off mine (it simply slides out) and
put it on the one I bought and voila!
Therefore, you would be buying my OLD computer (without the screen), so
I know EXACTLY what condition it is in. ~1 year old, no known problems or
visual defects. Just needs a screen.
With a screen, you could have a 10MHz XT clone laptop for ~$475-$500.
I have been using this machine for about a year. I use Turbo C, which
you can get onto 2 disks, if you select only ONE memory model, and that
will leave room for and editor and the program you are working on (you
have to use TCC instead of TC).
I also got Word Perfect 5.1 onto 3 disks. You only need the first two
disks for editing. The third disk has the Thesaurus and Spell Checker
on it, so you just have to switch out the disk when you need to access
those (I can give you the list of files to put onto the disks to make
it work).
Other packages, like Lotus 123 v2.01, fit onto one 720K disk.
