More PC Notebooks

[iMac600]

Sharp PC-9300D

133mhz Pentium Processor

32mb RAM

Hard Disk Missing

Toshiba Satellite Pro 440CDT (x2)

Specs unknown, power supply missing from both. I'll boot it up once I can find a PSU that will work with it.

I'll keep tinkering away with these machines, but from general responses in my Compaq Armada thread, you'll be glad to know I saved ALL these machines from the crusher. Not one machine was left behind. I have some good homes lined up for one or two of them as well.

Oh, and if someone would happen to know where I can find service manuals without paying $12 per PDF, that would be great.

EDIT: Put a 2GB hard disk in the Sharp. Still trying to install Windows 95 without a boot floppy...

Yeah, I have the boot floppy writer, but the problem of actually getting it over to a machine with a floppy drive was the problem. Eventually managed to get it on to my other machine, wrote the disk, installed Windows 95.

Turns out it wouldn't partition either because boot sector virus detection was enabled. Should have known considering it's a former school machine.

On the satellite hold down escape while booting. The Satellite is prolly a P1 120-166 mhz. I'd bet on 133.

I would, if I could find a power connector to actually turn it on.

Does it actually have a power adaptor? Its one of the old grey ones, a Pentium 1, right? Just wondering, as I'm fairly sure I remember that the ones that my teachers had at primary school actually had an internal power adaptor - you'd just connect a standard figure-8 power lead straight from the wall to the back of the laptop.

I had a Satellite Pro 405cds back in like '95 or so. It took a standard figure 8 stereo power cord.

 

[iMac600]

This doesn't take a figure 8 cord. Just a plain round connector that you would see on PowerBook 150, 165 etc series, but bigger.
