Over the weekend, I won me a Toshiba T4800CT 486 notebook computer for a reasonable price. The specs are as follows according to online resources:
Intel i486 DX4-SL 75MHz
8MB RAM
500MB HDD
1.44MB floppy drive
Windows Sound System (will look inside to see which chip(s) is/are installed)
WD90C24A video
TFT Color 640x480x256 Color
It had a side trackball, but I didn't see it in the listing, but it has a PS/2 port and serial port for external mice. I was thinking about getting a docking station for the system as well to add a full length CD-ROM drive and a couple of ISA cards, like an MPU-401 clone card, NIC, and other possibilities, but I have plenty of PCMCIA network cards and a PCMCIA CD-ROM drive as well (will test that out to make sure it works).
Stay tuned for the next episode/thread about the system itself, show and tell (photo op), and so on.
