There's an interesting one. I only have two floppy drives. Where
would the hard drive go? There's an extra ribbon plug on the MB,
same as for the display and keyboard, what's that for?
I'd like the hard drive if it still works.

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.

There was no hard drive option available for this machine (unless there was
a third party outfit who offered an internal kludge or external unit.) Only
one _or_ two internal floppies plus the external floppy unit.
IIRC, the extra ribbon connector was for a memory expansion module.

There was a series of industrial computers marketed by Allen-Bradley,
produced by DG and based on the DG1 that were hard drive equipted...I
have one, but my drive is trashed.
