Tut tut, by the 80s we had pretty good surface mount ;) You need to  
crack open an Enterprise 64/128 someday! (I did work experience in  
1990 at one of the scottish Fabrication/assembly plants for PCBs; we  
were using some very sophisticated surface-mount stuff then even on  
simple boards like a delay timer for a Nissan interior light).

But what leads me to think late 80s, other than the laptop in  
question being an 8086 jobbie, is what looks like a date code of 8852  
on one of the ICs, the SC11006CV...
