I just acquired two laptops and would like some ideas and information.
Thinkpad Type 9545-L9E 755C
Thinkpad Type 9545-9NE 755CD
As far as I can tell they are both 486s. They both have a floppy drive, although the "CD" can take a CD in place of the FDD. After some hours on the net, I can't get specific information on these. L9E and 9NE are just not models that are quoted where Google is pointing me.
They are both running OS/2 Warp and boot up fine when I take out the batteries. Each also comes with a Token Ring pc card (anybody want those?) and are set up to run the IBM carrot server, but I don't know OS/2 so don't know about the usefulness of that.
I'll boot them up again tomorrow and check the RAM and load some diagnostic and report back. Perhaps I should keep the OS/2 on there - or does anybody have any other more NIX oriented ideas for 486 laptops?
One thing that puzzles me is the two push tabs for the left and right "mouse" buttons on the 755CD. Does anybody know why they pull out and what that does?
