Wow! Those numbers are much more approachable than I realized.
They are more like, 8th floor with no elevator, where I thought they would
be outer space.
This is awesome.

I don¹t think you damaged the screen it was probably like that before you
touched it. They are very old machines and way beyond their expected EOL.
Even fully functional machines can stop working after time in storage. I
recently took out my favorite 102 after a few weeks of none use and it
Great, so it sounds like I damaged a chip by not taking enough care with the
LCD board. And I was so proud of myself!
Oh well, thanks for the help guys. I unplugged and replugged the flex cable
that connects to the LCD board, but I'm not going to mess with it any further
on my own.
John, I do
Kind of comedic trying to keep his budget to $500. Hope he does it though.
I wonder if modern tech allows for a faster display to replace the model
100 display? But with same daylight readable characteristics.

It's still a WIP

I have used de-oxit on the edge of the elastomer to pcb contact in the past –
very, very sparingly to try and clean the PCB contacts. Then used a piece of
stiff card to very very gently push the elastomer in an attempt to clean up the
contacts. This tends to work for lines that are blank
Hi folks, thanks again for the advice the other day. I just replaced my NiCd,
which had a light amount of leakage on the barrel but didn't appear to have
reached the PCB. I put a NiMh in there, and the computer is plugged in to
charge it up for a while.
However, when I turn it on I'm noticing
apologies for my negative contribution here folks.

I've just been lurking 4 maybe 8 or 9 years now and I want to thank you for
handling these things I have only made one or two comments in the past
about people starting to Flame but the information here is just too
valuable in my opinion to Simply unsubscribe because I can't ignore Flame.
So just
Another eBay/copyright/attribution flame...
Consider this thread CLOSED.
Bryan you can be 100% right or 50% wrong but the majority of subscribers
don't want the negative defensive overlong rants. I get comments in
complaint on and off list. People are going to interpret your words how
they will.
I'd be interested in a intact 600 if anyone wants to pass one along packed
well :)

Thanks for the great info. I'm probably going to pass, my current queue is
pretty full with projects. I just finished a Poqet PC Plus (created the

Yes.
I have one purely for completeness and curiosity.
As a computer, it makes a great brick.
It's frankly a terrible computer. It's the worst of several worlds.
All the portability of paving stone. 8086 cpu but not one bit of any other
x86 pc platform standards, so no MS-DOS or any other os. All the
I bought one of those because I thought it was a curious artifact, which
was an x86 machine that did not run DOS.
It was a pain to get working, and I can imagine that the battery made it an
impossible sell when for a few hundred dollars more you could buy a DOS
laptop that was much more

There’s plenty of great content and projects, but if large flame wars are going

I have one at the moment. I would have to agree wth the comments it is big and
heavy – it has a huge NiCad built in. The 600 is a curious machine, a 'missing
link' from the Model T to the MS-DOS machines. I do not use it all, it needs
to sit on a desk it is so heavy unlike my favorite 102
I had 2 at one point. I liked the challenge of getting it working but in
the end I didn't have a use relative to the M100. I felt similarly about
the DVI. Had 2 but got passed them along eventually.
A bit too big, bulky, heavy etc.

There is a model 600 for sale at a good price on eBay, but I'm kind of
hesitant. It seems to be quite the oddball model in the series. Does anyone
have experience with it?

Those pcbs came from some other manufacturer than oshpark. They don't make
green and tin pcbs like that. They downloaded the gerber files from the
oshpark listings, and had some other manufacturer produce them cheaper than
oshpark does, and sell those for more than oshpark does. (not hard, oshpark
