Free laptop

[98Cobra]

TI Travelmate 2000. No battery(leaked a long time ago). It does come with an AC adapter however. The machine is an 80286-12 with a 20 MB harddrive, monochrome display, 3-1/2 floppy. Its only probably useful for some datalogging applications, etc. The owners manual is still available online here: http://www.acersupport.com/library/tm2000ug.pdf

Own a piece of history, free! Act now! :cool:

Hey, I think that that is a generation newer than mine at home.

[98Cobra]

Not quite, Mark. :) I think that one probably predates yours by about oh, at least 6-8 years.

Yeah, I know, just kidding, one of the laptop's at home is a TI5000, and they could be collector's items.
Speak and Spells and TI LCD watches are in the Smithsonian, so the now defunct TI laptop could be too.

my first computer at work was a Radio Shack Model 1 running TRS-DOS affectionately known as trash dos,,,now that was a real computing machine... :vomit:

I had a TRS 80 know as the Trash 80. It played games off of cassette tapes:D Space Invaders, and Asteroids:roll

[Moonshine]

Never owned one, but I remember the Trash 80's.

Also remember the TI watches, but weren't the very first ones LED rather than LCD? I remember the numerals lit up in red when you pushed the button. Never owned one of those either. :tongue:

[Sixpipes]

That is one big-a$$ laptop. :cool:

[Mark #2]

Moonshine,
You are correct. LEDs first. George H. invented the LCD and then came to work for TI.

During the watch production timeframe TI decided that there wasn't any future in the LCD display business and canned the program.

the watches befoe I threw it away..
and I upgraded the cassette drive to a single sided, single density 5.25" disk drive for better data saving and retrieval..

boy those were the days werent they:roll
