I posted about the laptop that was plugged into the mains some time ago.
I now have the said computer in my possession and am planning to resurrect it. Will post photos tomorrow.
It's IBM PC XT-class, quite large, with 80C88 CPU that can be clocked to either 4.77MHz or 8MHz. It's a 16-bit CPU, an upgrade over the 8-bit 8088. The RAM is 640k.
The power circuit will need extensive modifications - I don't have the original power brick and the batteries have been taken out - and I'll see what the capacitor and CMOS battery situation is when I open it up. The laptop is quite damaged and dirty and is literally falling apart.
It also has a 20Mb HDD.
The LCD screen is quite horrible if Youtube is to be believed, but that's to be expected. There's also an RGB/composite port on the back of the laptop.
If you have schematics and repair manuals for ZWL-180 series laptops, I'd be quite thankful. This is my first attempt restoring something this old.
