How much should a working TRS Model 100 laptop computer cost? (I'm
thinking of getting one for a portable amateur packet setup)?
The last three I picked up were in about the $10 or so range (a bit hard to
say since I bought them in a lot.) While I haven't heard of anyone using
them for packet yet, the NEC 8201A is similar to the Model 100 and I
frequently see them at the TRW swap meet in the $25 range. The last one I
bought was $50, but it came in the original box, etc. It seems like most of
the early battery operated portables can be used for packet rather
successfully. Assuming size is an issue, I have seen several packet setups
using the HP 95SX (?) palmtop computer ... and they are certainly portable
