I noticed this on ebay tonight:
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4610&item=510057941
2>
Seller thinks it may be a prerelease model because the FCC sticker says
it isn't approved and can't be sold. Possibly they are correct, maybe it
was a review model sent out before they hit the stores.
I'd love to have it, opening bid of $9.99, but I'm sure it will go above
my price range before it closes (and now that I've pointed it out here,
that's almost a sure event).

Maybe not -- it's apparently not bootable. Dead disk, it seems.

I'm sure the Portable is a review model. Such stickers were common for
hardware sent out to magaziner reviewers, analysts, key customers, etc.
prior to it becoming commercially available.
This system might be identical to a commercial model, but it's just as
possible there will be minor differences.

New subject: OS/2
Does anyone have a copy of OS/2 (any version, but I'm really looking for all
of them...) for my Virtual PC collection of antique operating systems?
I'm not sure how folks here feel about the piracy of software that is no
longer available. I would, of course, be willing to pay for a legal copy,
as long as the price was reasonable.
Take Care,
Mark

There is a new, unopened OS/2 Warp Version 3 on floppies at the local Sally
Ann. If you promise to pay me 5 bucks plus shipping I will pick it up
tomorrow morning if it is still there. I already have one but it's opened
and I want to keep it. Email me off the list if you want it. Mail would be
from Toronto and the thing weighs about 4 pounds

You should check out http://www.ecomstation.com
OS/2 is still available for ordinary people, but is sold now by a
company called "Serenity Systems" as eComStation. Although they probably
improved it and added support for new hardware, it is just OS/2. IBM
still maintains OS/2 for large customers.

Thanks. I didn't know that. I thought that IBM was just supporting folks
they already had.
I'll check that out!

I have OS/2 2.1 for Windows on 3-1/2" disks with all manuals in original box.
The diskette packages have never been opened.
It's real heavy and you are welcome to it for $10 including media mail
shipping to US addresses.
Paypal or personal check
