Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Steve,
 I started to wonder too soon! Got the luggable (was described as 640k
 laptop, but) this morning. Proceeded to rip it to pieces. Salvaged the
 20 meg hard card (I guess thats what it is, HD and 8-bit controller
 card all one unit. Never saw an HD like it before so I figure this
 MicroData toy is a hard card.) I installed in another machine and its
 now ms-dos 6.22'd. Looked over the WP4.2 and all the other stuff that
 was on it, then wiped it out. Re-installed, re-assembled luggable, it
 now works except the floppy is a door stop...
 I have ProWrite on there which is small enough to run on the 344k in
 this toy. Even though the floppys toast (and special modified somehow,
 I have several other 360k toys that work, but not in this beast), the
 parallel ports good so the luggable is now a word processor w/printer.
 End of story. I figure I got the thing so am sorry I started to wonder
 too soon after not hearing anything for two weeks. Also, you packaged
 the luggable very well, I really appreciate that! (You wouldn't believe
 some of the ways I've had things arrive, jeez..)
 Now am looking for 32k ram chips (18 pin - MB81464-15 - 8631  R50) so I
 can boost it to 768k ram which seems to be its max. Not bad for an 1985
 toy. 384k (not 640k...) just won't run hardly anything.
  Have A good One!

user: You are replying to All about "32k ram chips/360k floppy".

Write your reply.

assistant: Picked up an old (1985 BIOS) Sharp PC-7100 luggable cheap, only has
 384k in there (344k is what dos 6.22's MEM reports for some reason).
 I need 12 18-pin (32k?) ram chips. The ones in it are marked:
  MB81464-15
  8631   R50
 The way the lil' mini mommaboard/controller looks these go in 3 rows of
 4, with a jumper underneath marked currently on 3 for the 3 rows
 already in, and 4, 5, and 6 clearly marked for when filling up those
 three 4 chip rows. Thats the only jumper there is, so I figure thats
 gotta be what its for. (?)
 Please dig around your old stuff and turn 4, 8, or hopefully 12 of
 those useless old 18-pin ram chips that are just collecting dust into a
 few buck$ cash for your wallet. I'll be glad you did. :-)
 The display is nice, hard card works fine, just need ram (and a
 probably impossible to find 360k floppy special made to work for/fit in
 a Sharp PC-7100) to make this thing workable.
 Also would consider any other Sharp PC-7100's for parts cheap...?
 Thanks,
