Hi all,
I want to obtain a PC laptop that has to meet the following
requirements:
a) I must be able to install at least Windows 95, better Windows 98
b) It must have a CD ROM drive or a harddisk that has enough space
for the content of two CD's plus Windows 95 or 98. Needing 1.4GB
for the CD's, this would probably mean it would have to be a
4 GB hard disk.
c) I don't need anything else. No floppy, no sound, no ports, no
nothing.
d) I don't care in what condition the battery is. I won't even need one
if the machine can run off the ac adapter without a battery.
e) A working ac adapter (must work with 220 Volt, connector doesn't
matter)
must be included.
g) I don't care about MegaHertz or memory installed as long as I can
start the one application I need this thing for.
Reason: I have recently purchased the Falk City Guide CD. Among other
useful info this gives me street maps of every city in Germany and
Austria
and of many cities in Europe. I'd love to have that available in my
campervan, but since campervans have a tendency to be broken into, I
want the hardware to be as cheap as possible so the loss won't be so
great if this happens.
I could trade for Newton stuff or battery refurbishes, I could buy
if the price is reasonable, I could trade for an Apple PowerBook 170,
and I would accept donations. I am also interested in a dead
or a faulty unit. Please mail me off-list if you think you can help me.
Thanks a lot
Frank
PS Mac laptops are not an option. I own two of those, but this bloody
CD is Windows only, and my Macs are too old to emulate Windows.
