Today I bought three portable PCs marked
"Rabbit 286". They're about
the size of a large lunch box and have a keyboard that fastens against one
side. When you remove the keyboard it uncovers a gas plasma screen. There
are slots for two 3.5 drives on the right hand side and a door on the left
side. Opening the door exposes the back of several expansion card slots.
There's a label on the bottom that says "Chicony Electronics Co.",
"Model
286G-A", "Gas Plasma Display" and "640H x 400W Dots". One almost
works, one
is dead and the third one is somewhere in between. Does anyone know
anything about these? I'm wondering if it's possible to put a small 386 or
486 mother board in these.
Intersting... Well, you probably can put a newer board
in, but it
depends... What you have to do is take the entire thing apart and see what
it has right now, it may be an odd shape... Since you have three of them, I
would say fix up one of them to the normal 286 config, and then use the
other two to make one or two upgraded versions, depending on what's wrong
with them. Sounds like fun...
