The Gavalin SC Laptop |

I recently picked up the 2nd Gavilan laptop, the SC model.
 The 1984 DOS-based Gavilan SC laptop computer.
There was so much battery acid leakage I was amazed I could even power up the system at all (after cleaning with a baking soda solution). When powered up, the system counts from 1 to 5 and then shows a code "010". Not much else. Does not attempt to boot the diskette that came with it. At least the LCD seems to be OK. pictures Reply |

Would you be intrested in selling the Gavalin SC laptop to me? I actually worked with this type of computer in the early 90's, and I would like to have one for myself. Please respond if you are intrested, and if not then please let me know.
sincerely, amthomas0412 Reply |
