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

One more bump. Still looking, no luck locally.

486 (DX2) preferred so I can run certain DOS games.
CD drive is completely optional.
Must have color screen and good battery.

TIA. :P

FYI

I have every version of Windows created to my knowledge. Got em off an old forum that a guy named Tomchu used to run. He had a server that he ran and I decided to attack it one night and get em all. The server was basically a compilation of operating systems sent in by everyone. It got taken down not too long after it was put up.

Let me know if you want/need anything. I think there'* even betas of XP (longhorn) and other versions (chicago?).

I don't have a Windows PC anymore. I switched to Macs, but I want a old school laptop to fiddle with. I have a knack with DOS.

My daughter has a Gateway Solo Pentium 200Mhz, 2GB HDD,128Mb ram, color screen & Capable of 24 bit color, working floppy and cd drives; but a bum battery. it does work fine off the power supply I think she'd love to unload it at this point since its not up to par playing the games she thought it would.

I haven't tried dos on it. though did try linux, 98se, &W2kpro. I left it running W2kpro...seemed just as quick as anything else. I don';t think my Dos floppies would still be good after all these years.

who'* got dos 6.22?

Hmm, well not what I was looking for, but I would accept it as it is the only one I have been offered that is in working condition. Let me know how much she would want for it.

Let me test it with DOS first. I'd hate to sell it to you & find out its not compatible.
