Tandy 3800 HD Laptop, fully functional, upgraded to maximum RAM (3 MB) with proper low profile SIMMs, Seagate ST9655AG 524.4 MB Hard Drive using Ontrack Disk Manager 9.53 for Seagate drives w/ DOS 6.22 & WfW 3.11 installed on HD, new compatible AC adapter (Sony brand).
No main battery, no floppy drive, and it needs a new CMOS battery (TL-5186) [The old TL-5168 was removed from the system to prevent any potential damage from occurring if it ruptured during transit]. All the mounting hardware for the floppy drive is present, one just has to be slotted in and connected. The system had a NiCad main battery, which was left in the system for a number of years and experienced a loss of containment (which they are wont to do). As such, I replaced the corroded battery interface with a compatible part from a donor system and cleaned up the motherboard.
I will include 3 disks with the system. One with the Seagate/Ontrack Disk Manager DDO software on it, one with the Tandy CMOS setup program on it, and one with Snooper 3.44 on it so you can set the CMOS HD parameter once you install the new CMOS battery. I can also include a DOS 6.22 boot disk if desired.
Here is a link to the Tandy site which has absolutely all the information on the 3800 HD one would want to know:

I want to see it get a good home, so I'm willing to ship it anywhere. Buyer pays actual shipping.
I paid $41.00 for it a few months ago. I don't expect to get the full value of what I paid for it. Any and all offers will be entertained. If you have any comments, questions, concerns, etc... please reply to this thread or send me a PM.
