This was one of the first portable 8086 Combatible computers, and for once I do not need to fix it before I can showcase it to you :D

The problem with the floppy drive might be due to the use of 1.44 MB discs in a 720 kB drive

Can an external monitor be connected to this machine? The built-in screen seems way to slow for anything but static screens

The flip-out keyboard is a really well-designed feature

I had one, but for a variety of reasons I just found it not a viable device in most circumstances. And running on Alkaline batteries? Please!

Nice m/c in some ways for its time, I used to have one. Great k/b

We've got one at work, with the original floppy.

Funnily enough I lent the 640k version of this off a friend (in dark gray and with 2 drives) used it for college work, I then eventually got hold of this one, I do not recall where it is great fun with them :) I am kind of amazed how well block out played, I wish I had a copy at the time :p.

Lovely machine, this. Always wanted one. How does the screen look in real life? It looks like it could be more reflective but perhaps it's clearer in person?

My first PC! I think it was retired when I got Keyboard Error messages.
