I have an NEC PowerMate Portable Plus computer system for sale. Unfortunately, I don't know *exactly* what is in this thing. I will describe as well as I can, and you can be the judge if you want it... It has a 286-12mhz processor, 3.5" & 5.25" floppy drives, 2400 baud internal modem, 40 meg hard drive, 1 meg memory, VGA graphics port, ser and par ports, plasma VGA mono screen... That's about all I can tell... here is the story: I had this system for about 2 years, using it only occasionally to check in to my internet account to get my e-mail. Well, it ran the terminal program fine, and it also ran CSHOW and viewed graphics nicely too. Well, I decided to update the DOS on it, and in doing that, I must have messed with something I shouldn't have. Now, it boots dos from the HD like usual, but the memory seems to be all muddled up, and it says there is a startup error and that I need to run SETUP. Well, all this is too much of a hassle for me since I have another machine, so if this system interests you, it's yours for only 150 bucks, shipped in the US. Keep in mind, I cannot tell exactly how much memory is in this thing... at least 640k, possibly as much as 2 megs... also, the drive used to be double spaced, but I think it is 40 megs, uncompressed. I know the modem is on COM2, but now that the memory thing is weird, I can't get it to load a terminal program to test it. I guess that is what I get for trying to upgrade... :) E-mail me if interested. Thanks for your ear. -- _____________________________________________________________________ | | |_ | Robert J Batina | Also known as 'Roberto' around the net. | | |---------------------| Please take the time to check my web pages at | | | rbatina@infinet.com | http://www.infinet.com/~rbatina | | |_____________________|_______________________________________________| | |_____________________________________________________________________|

I think that program wasn't even supposed to run on anything slower than a 386-16, but this little lunchbox did it... slowly, but it did do it... that might give a clue as to how much RAM it actually has as well.
