I have a toshiba simmiler to that!

It has a 80386SX prosser, 123MB hard drive (no bad clusters), a 3 1/2 inch floppy drive witch has no bit the dust as well as the screen =( so I have it attached to an external moniter, I have a video of it uploaded on my chanel if you would like to see it.

also to add, mine has a bad clock battery too, so i took it out, so i have to tell the BIOS to auto detect the hard drive every time i turn it off... it's floppy is removeable so i can put the other battery in it. also nice power cord XD! funny

[thyssenelevator95]

Thanks! It is amazing how a portable computer uses a standard desktop computer mains lead. LOL.

[NHComputerGeek]

hey BTW, does that thing even have a battery? doubt it ;)

[thyssenelevator95]

It has a CMOS/BIOS battery for the BIOS settings, but no battery to make it portable. I could, however, attach one of those uninterruptible power supplies to it, but that isn't "wireless", though.

hey man cool videos

I wouldent worry to much about copyright infringement

a company isn't going to pursue you unless they felt your

somehow stealing business by using thier names ect

You don't appear to fit the profile for massive corporation

copyright lawsuit. Just wanted to ease your mind.

Plasma= "burnin" effect in the screen

He means RAM a computer cannot hold 500 GB of RAM that is your hard drive which is secondary memory he is talking about primary memory which is the RAM 1. MB

I had the exact same thing back in 1990

Interesting display.

[Jordancooldog]

that's the ram, the ram is always small amount compared with the hard drive which could imagine it's like 150 GB

It's interesting that the gas plasma display causes visible refresh bands on the camera. That doesn't happen with an LCD because its pixels are either just on or off. I guess gas plasma displays refresh the screen every 60 times a second just like CRTs.

You're welcome.
