Today's rescues

Along with a *pile* of DEC stuff (in someone else's behalf, more later when some details have been worked out..) I adopted a Mac SE30 with a LaserWriter II... which was being used up to yesterday.. and a Zenith Data Systems SupersPort 286 Laptop. (This unit assumes you have a *generous* lap.) The Zenith is in 8 out of 10 shape, cosmetically almost perfect, with battery pack and ac adapter. The battery pack works, unfortunately the CMOS battery has failed it's trust and therefore no HD access. The unit boots from a floppy, however the neatest feature of this machine is the ROM Monitor that it boots into if nothing else works. Now to get out the hacksaw and electric chisel and see if I can't dig down to that naughty little CMOS batt. There also might be available a number of new-looking GridCase portables, but I don't have them yet.... Cheers and Best of the Season John
