CommodoreC386SX-LT laptop

[mjnurney]

here is my latest toy , its a CommodoreC386SX-LT laptop which seems to be mostly on Japanese origin. Now i didnt get a PSU for this powerhouse of a machine so i have to make one as usual.

Now the 386 needs a 8 pin mini D plug to power the lappy and to charge the battery , needless to say i exepect the battery is long dead so i didnt bother with any of that side of things and simple added a 3.5mm jack plug (because its all i had) but to keep it retro i used a mono jack ;-)

anyway after what seems all night , here she is running and bolted back up .

The screen is B/W and it seems to have no sound other that beeps. no PS2 mouse but its got VGA out.

all the keys work and the hard drive has DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.1 on it so it seems ready to handle the modern world

ohh and the optional modem too.

Specs

Intel 80386SX
16 MHz
4 Mbyte RAM, 128 kbyte ROM
9,75'' monochrome LCD
Parallel, Serial, VGA, modem

Nice one!

Kinda makes you wonder how this would accommodate an A600 motherboard, doesn't it?

Very nice! I'd like to get a C= laptop at some point, but it's not high on my list. It's always great to see hardware resurrected.

some gaming on the old girl and a new (very old) 256mb ide HDD fitted..

and PC64 DOS c64 emulator running in full 386 16mhz 2 FPS !! yeah..

sadly the c64 emu needs a 486 to function at C64 speeds...

Very nice! I also got my hands on a 386SX with monochrome screen.
So far I haven't explored it yet. I just know there is DOS and Win 3.1(1) on it.
Mine is not a Commodore though

You can always use these as a defensive measure too when somebody invades your house
