What happened to the for sale forum here?

Anyhow, I was given a Compaq Portable III computer by someone who I did computer work for. It's a 1987 model 2660 with a blazing fast 12 mhz 286 processor and 640 KB of RAM. I fired it up and took photos last night.

It's on eBay now:

If anyone is interested.

The Deal Depot & Trading Post (http://icrontic.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=21) hasn't moved. Your computer notice is appropriate here in the pub though, as listed items in the DD&TP must have a price listed. I hope you make enough on your auction to pay for shipping.

I mistook it for a toaster, it being folded up next to the sink and stove like that.

Tim, I think you better revise whatever you did to figure shipping costs. That thing will weight at least 20 pounds or more in shipping trim I'm sure. I'm thinking that shipping will be at least $20-30 minimum.

Cool old computer though; portable computing of the 80's. :cool:

EDIT: Never mind of the shipping; I see you ended the auction early.

Is the floppy drive 1.44MB

Also Do you have the expansion unit,

This is kinda tempting for nostalgic reasons, And it would make a ok dumb terminal.

edit: Nevermind I dont see the expantion unit, :( no way to add a network card or anything fun for windows 3.1
