Quote from: Guy i e-mail asking for spec info
As an approx spec for the age of the laptop:

CPU : 100 MHz -> 233 MHz

Ram : 16MB

Screen 640 * 480

They are more collectable than usable.



Also this site has Spartans and Sabres for sale.

An Army Harley for £1250 is a bargain i may well snap up.

Wow, that thing is so ancient.......
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

if using modern consumer-grade electronics, not much. especially if in there is something resembling the AT standard for dimensions, but since it is an army-grade thingy, i seriously doubt modern PSU's or such would fit.




then again, i'm a psycho who intends to rebuild an old 1994. 486 case. heh.

It looks sufficiently big enough that if you were really game, you could get some Mini-ITX goodness going on in there...
