Hopefully someone out there will be able to help.

I have a colleague at work who has inherited a fairly ancient Compaq
portable PC.  According to the date stamp inside the case it was made
in 1989!  She has been trying to obtain a memory upgrade but the 3 she
has tried so far have been for the wrong models.  She has also
unfortunately lost the manuals.

I have tried contacting Compaq in the UK and quoted the serial no of
the machine but they could not trace the machine from that but
surmised that the machine would be very probably an LTE but could also
be an LST.  Unfortunately, it is not an LTE.

I've got an outstanding call to Compaq in the US to see if they can
help but in the meantime I thought I'd try all the experts out there.

Here is a brief description of the machine.

Dimensions 15 inches long by 7 inches wide by 9 inches high.
Keyboard forms one side cover but can be removed for use.  Amber mono
screen slides up approx 3 inches for use.
The only markings are on the underside of the keyboard (which forms
the side panel when closed) where it says Compaq with Portable 386
under that.  Also on bottom right of screen it says 386/20.

On the bottom of the machine there is an FCC ID label with id
CNT75M5401 and Model 2670.

The machine is the normal light grey in colour.

Any help or pointers would be most gratefully received.

Regards,

Steve Kemp
