Hmm, oh dear, a very old laptop. For the memory stick, try www.ebay.com. =
there is loads of good second hand stuff there (even cheap laptops !) For =
the schematic software, Orcard version 3 is what I use on a 286 ! A bit =
slow, but if you don't do huge circuits, then it's quite okay. If you =
can't fand version 3 anywhere, I can try to email it to you to play =
with.=20

        Ok, this is a poor man's question, but anyway, what the heck? ;o)

        I have an OOOOOOOOOLDDDDDDDD Thinkpad notebook - a 486 SL 25 (that =
is actually clocked at 24 MHz - dunno why!) that I use as my "got nothing =
to do" machine. When I "got nothing to do" at work, I take this notebook =
and start writing PIC programs wherever I want (and I have a 110V outlet =
around). Of course it is slow as it can't be. And has only 127 MB of hard =
disk (anyone sparing a 525 or greater HD for notebooks around? :oD). But =
it works, or at least try to ;o) Has 20 mb (36 when I find an old 32MB 72p =
SIMM stick) of RAM and, as simple as it could be, can have a lot of work =
doing on that.

        I use the Easytrax for DOS, when I need to do a PCB, etc. Of =
course I'd like to go further - I want to do schematics and PCBs on it. =
But I can think of no program that would run on this beast. Anyone knows a =
program - like circad, etc - that runs:

        - in a 486/25
        - small as it can be, since I have only 5 mb of HD spared
        - do schems/routing/pcb
        - is cheap or free (asking too much...)

        Looking for sugestions ;o)

        BTW: I'm looking for an old battery for the ThinkPad 350C - even =
died. I haven't it's battery, and I want to be able to use it without the =
psu. Even the box of the battery helps, because I can find locally the =
intenal NiCad (or NiMh) cells to fit on it. Also, the top cover of the =
same notebook would be nice, since mine is lookin like a web, with so much =
cracks and fixes ;o)
