Good luck to you on grabbing it, it is a very cool machine!I've got one of these but am watching this auction because if it stays reasonably cheap it can serve as a parts computer as a worst case if it can't otherwise get it going. Sounds salvageable though based on the description.
Did u win?Yeah, it is a neat machine. Despite being a PS/2 there is no micro channel in it, unlike another PS/2 badged IBM laptop I’ve got.
I think this one had an external numeric keypad available for it with its own little flip up cover. I don't have one of those yet.
