I got a Data General One laptop that someone was using as a wheel-
chock at a flea market. It has a smashed LCD, and won't start.
Now,
a)Does anyone have an extra LCD that would work?
b)What type of power does it use?
c)Does anyone want any parts? It's in good physical condition.

It was thus said that the Great Max Eskin once stated:

Sorry, don't have a spare LCD, and I'm currently using mine (in fact, I
used the Data General yesturday).
b)What type of power does it use?
I'll have to go home and check.
c)Does anyone want any parts? It's in good
physical condition.
does it have the built in modem? That's the only option I don't have for
mine. Also, if you could gently remove the disk drive buttons and send them
my way, I'd be appriciative. Mine broke off.

LCD screens, or at least where you might get some)

Man, everyone I've seen has those disk drive buttons broken off!! The one I
currently have has both buttons, but I've had to glue the little prongs back
onto the main button. A reall pain....!

Max:
I'd certainly take some spare parts from your DG/1. I also am looking
for power supply information. So if you or anyone else knows, *please*
let me know as well.
Thanks,

Sorry I took awhile for this, but I didn't get home until rather late last
night (or rather early this morning 8-)
Anyway, the power transformer has the following information:
120VAC 50/60Hz 0.75A Max input
DC 6.4V 2A output 1 (to computer)
DC 6.4V 3A output 2 (in my case, to the
printer - separate cable)
Looking at the back of the DG1 into the power connector, the positive is
on the left, negative on the right.
-spc (Hope this helps some)

I'd like the hard drive if it still works.

There are two adapters for it, one that recharges the battery, and one
that powers the machine directly. My battery charger is dead and
unlabeled wrt voltage, etc. The A/C adapter has two different outputs:
one at 2A and one at 3A, both at 6.4V. I assume the higher amperage is
needed if you have the optional printer. Viewing from the back, the right
most terminal is negative.

Sure, I'll trade you a dirty Symbol LS-8500 laser scan gun for it.
Guaranteed to make you go blind if you stare at the laser long enough ;-)
