Hello,
Just a quick introduction... My name's Justin, and I've been collecting old
computers for quite a while
now. Just joined the list today. :)
Now for a requests:
Among my collection is an NEC ProSpeed 286 laptop computer, which seems to be in full
working condition.
The only problem is I have no manuals, drivers, or utilities for it. I couldn't find
anything on the
internet despite extensive searching, and contacting NEC support as well as scouring
through the NEC FTP
site. My specific problems are I can't switch to the external video output, or
activate the serial port,
parallel port, or internal modem (which I think is 2400 bps).
Second, I have a 486 Philips P 3464 server tower, which I think runs at 25 MHz but I'm
not completely
sure. Likewise, I don't have any software or documentation for it. Fortunately, I do
have the key which
was conveniently stuck in the keyswitch when I picked up the computer! And although it
looks like it has
a ROM based BIOS setup complete with a debugger, I have no idea how to use it's arcane
interface and I
can't even get the computer to boot from a hard drive!
If anyone has any information on these computers, drivers, utilities, setup programs, etc,
please let me
know! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
