I'm not sure if they're the same, or not, but on Compaq's website, the
Portable III, and the Portable 386 were listed as two different computers.
I need the parts for the Portable 386.

The portable III was a 286, otherwise identical though.

Hi!
I have a Compaq Portable III that Id like to get going a bit better than it
is now.
Here's what I need for it:
RAM - It uses special RAM that is about as long as a 72-pin chip, bit is
only about 1/2" high, and doesn't have the notch in the middle. I
currently have 2 MB, but would like to get it up to the max (16 MB?)
Modem (I think that's what the slot's for) - There's a little knock-out
under the disk drives, and a big open space inside the case, and a
connector. That's really all I can say about that.
Manual - Any have a manual that they'd want to get rid of (or photocopy)?
I've checked the date on this thing (stamped on the inside of the back
cover), and It's dated 1988, so it just makes it for the list.
ThAnX again,

I have the URL, and the info to modify the SIMMS. I just need to get the
SIMMS. True parity seems to be awfully hard to find anymore.

I am starting to prune out a lot of stuff from my pile. Best offer,
reasonable or silly, for the following:
(1) TRS-80 CoCo, 4K. I think the video is bad, as it spews out junk video
to my TV. The CPU seems to be doing something, as I can make out a some
characters on the screen. The reset button also does something. I assume
>from the "Channel 3-4" switch, the thing has a modulator inside, and could
be the problem. I have better things to fix.
(1) Apple Parallel Printer card. Probably out of a ][ or some such thing.
Untested.
(1) Norden PDP-11/M control panel. This is a little handheld thingie that
essentially allows a soldier/sailor/etc. to do very basic functions (stop,
reset, etc.) and watch for bus and parity errors (LEDs). For the person
that _thought_ they had every PDP-11 part ever made.
(1) HardCard EZ, and two Conner drives. The HardCard has a big "127"
printed on the side (capacity?). No idea if it is good - same with the two
"normal" disks (types 2 and 17, for you IDE fans out there).
(1) set RSX-11/M Programmers Manuals, Volumes 4A and 4B. These look
reasonably complete. No, I do not have the other volumes.
Most of this stuff is headed toward the jaws of my pliers, so feel free to
offer as little as you want. Just remember you pay shipping from Carmel,
NY (or thereabouts).

As a Pine user, I don't much like html ladden messages. I do however have
a small dos program called "htmlstrip" that cleans up all the junk. I
find it handy for mail and downloaded files off of web sites that are
html. If anyone wants it I'll pass it on. Otherwise its fairly easy to
find via a search engine.
