Hello All,
I recently acquired a Compaq Portable III in decent condition. I'm in the process of repairing and refurbishing what needs to be fixed hardware wise (crumbling keyboard cable, general cleaning, capacitor replacement etc.). The machine boots, but asks for the setup disk. I have not been able to track one down and I don't have a spare 5.25" drive to write one. So basically, it's beg or borrow time. I am happy to cover all costs necessary if someone here is able to write one for me. I'd really just like to get this guy up and running again.
Best,
Erik
