One of the "laptops" that came in this batch is an IBM PC Convertible. It
is in pieces, but looks repairable.
The very back piece on the top is missing.
There is a slender carrying handle.
The model number on the bottom is 5140.
There are what looks like 2 each 5.25" floppy connectors, but no hdd
connector at all.
There are NO drives in the unit.
Apparently there was a modem at one time, since there is a modem sticker on
the bottom.
I can post pics, if needed.
If somebody wants this thing, email me off list with offers.
About 5 pounds UPS ground shipping.

I added an Axil 320 to the collection yesterday. It had been sitting at
the local computer recycler for months, so I finally made make an offer.
It is a Sun SPARCstation 20 clone. It has two M61 processor modules and
512M of memory. It doesn't have a frame buffer, so I am running it
headless (using a 90s vintage Mac laptop as the serial console) until
the CG6 that I ordered arrives.
Does anyone have any material on Axil or the 320 model? Not much is
coming up searching the web.
alan
P.S. An old Wang system has been at the recycler for even longer than
the Axil, if anyone is interested. And a large (like the size of my
11/750) IBM tractor feed printer has shown up since my previous visit.

I haven't repaired (or even seen) one, but the limiting factor will be what the sensors can detect. If you can
get a part number you can look them up and see if you can get a LED that will emit light of a detectable wavelength.

I'm looking for a TI microExplorer main board, as mine died recently. [There was a dannydz in Vancouver who posted a few years ago about having one, but his e-mail no longer works, of course...]
