Alexandre, I read your PICLIST post about your 486 laptop. I have a 1.3 Gb 2.5-inch harddisk (removed from my laptop when I bought a 20 Gb HD recently) that you are welcome to have for the price of shipping. Where do you live? Also, I have some memory (from the same laptop) that was replaced recently. I believe that they are 8 Mb SIMM (72-pin SO type). You're welcome to have them, also, if you'd would like.

Souza" To: Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2001 11:49 PM Subject: 486 everyone? ;o) 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 internal 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) ---8<---Corte aqui---8<---- Alexandre Souza taito@terra.com.br http://planeta.terra.com.br/lazer/pinball/ ---8<---Corte aqui---8<---- -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
