Anyone have a OLD laptop they want to get rid of?

ok, it'* an AST 910N 486/75 laptop. The screen works, but seems like the freaquency might be messed up.

Shipping and it'* yours. Have the power cord. Battery is untested and assume it'* dead.

Would it be any trouble to get some pics of it? And what do you mean by the frequency messed up? BIOS need cleared?

pictures will be tuesday as I didn't have my camera when home.

And when I say frequency, the screen is showing lines across it, but no clear picture. They look similar to the scan line on a TV if the antenna is not adjusted properly (are you old enough to understand this? )

It seems to start up and boot though. When I am home again tuesday I can check and see if there is an external video port and try that.

It'* old, it'* nearly free (cost of shipping) so I don't plan on delving into it more than that.

OK, I have located my 3.5" floppies for Windows 3.11

I would be happy to just give them away, I don't see any time I'll be looking to install that, so if you're interested. . . . Or if there'* a way to upload the contents somewhere online, and you can download it?

Have not had a chance to dig up specs on the laptops I have, but am thinking I'll do it this weekend.
