High Treason has got the portable bug... Nah, I just decided to fix my T1200XE. Nobody else bid on this one and it was fairly cheap, it's condition is unknown and no picture of it running is there...
My guess would be that the hard drive will almost certainly be dead but the XE uses regular 44-Pin IDE. I have the screen, mobo and AC adapter from my old one, pretty certain I have extra RAM too, so I should be able to make a working one with any luck. Maybe I can enjoy my first laptop again, be interesting to see how it fares against the Zenith.
For reference, the T1200XE has a 12MHz 286, CGA Graphics and less expansion capabilities where the Zenith has a 16MHz 286, VGA and a few more options. I never got to run them side by side back then because I got the Zenith to replace the T1200XE back when I needed it for daily use.
