Description

The listing, Laptop has ended.

This is a working laptop computer. However, before you wet your pants over this one, please read everything below to make sure you can actually use this.

This is an old laptop, manufactured around 1994. The only upgrade it had was a new 1GB hard drive in 1996. It does not have a modem or network card, so the only way you could get on the internet with this thing is if you had a PCMCIA card. It does not have any CD drives, DVD drives, or USB ports. Here are the specs:

Model#: DGI II-D-4D

CPU: 486 Cyrix DX2 66

Memory: 12MB (yep that's twelve megabytes) I do not think it's upgradeable.

Hard Drive: 1GB

OS: Windows for Workgroups 3.11

Software: Microsoft Office 4.x, Solitare, Minesweeper. Not sure which one offers the most productivity.

Has 2 PCMCIA slots, 1.44MB floppy drive, parallel port, serial port, VGA port, ps2 port, and built-in trackball.

Also comes with the ac adapter cord.

So why would you want this? I dunno. Maybe you could convert into one of those digital frame thingys.

I'll ship it anywhere in the USA for $15. If the winning bid >=300 credits, I'll ship for free.

Questions & Comments

umm what if its over 200 how much money 2 ship

Feb 11th, 2010 at 2:29:48 PM PST by

Well if it gets less than 300 credits, then its $15.

Feb 11th, 2010 at 3:34:51 PM PST by

Commadore 128 huh? Well, I think I have an old VIC 20 around here he could use.....with a cassette tape drive I could throw in...LOL

Feb 10th, 2010 at 7:13:21 PM PST by

Maybe you should list it here.

Feb 10th, 2010 at 7:21:01 PM PST by

Funny. It's a real kitty-butt warmer. I think my granddaughter might use it for her science fair project on antiquated electronics...have some ancient cell phones, too. Like The Brick. Remember that one?

Feb 10th, 2010 at 7:26:23 PM PST by

Yep I remember the brick. If it still works, I'd bid on it.

Feb 10th, 2010 at 7:34:16 PM PST by

Thos esuckers were heavy. It would cost a mint to ship...well, maybe a 10.50 flat rate box. I don't think they use the same frequency anymore. Besides, only one of the two has a battery, and there is no charger...Hmmmm. As a collector's item...it might have some value. About that of the VIC 20. LOL

Feb 10th, 2010 at 9:07:10 PM PST by

cool

Feb 10th, 2010 at 9:31:13 PM PST by

Hey if i do 300 now then free shipped and i win ?

Feb 10th, 2010 at 10:32:51 PM PST by

I don't think that would work unless someone else bid the same amount -- sorry.

Feb 11th, 2010 at 6:21:20 AM PST by

My old 8088 desktop with Monochrome Monitor made an excellent door stop during the heat of summer AND an even better paper weight during tax season. At least this unit has Windows. : D

*sigh* If only I had a lizard...

Feb 11th, 2010 at 7:05:52 AM PST by

this shows how far tecnology has come along!!!!

Feb 11th, 2010 at 7:15:42 AM PST by

I only use linux! if you have all the cool stuff turned on in the system it is visually stunning. will never slow down, no more viruses . makes windows 7 look like an expensive mistake.

Feb 11th, 2010 at 7:30:59 AM PST by

I totally agree.it can be used for something

Feb 11th, 2010 at 8:59:10 AM PST by

I'm a year older than it. hah. I might bid

Feb 11th, 2010 at 1:50:22 PM PST by

I think you should install OS2 Warp (LOL) not really

Feb 11th, 2010 at 1:58:52 PM PST by

Nice laptop, it doesn't come with a mouse? because i see a huge black round thing on it.

Feb 10th, 2010 at 6:35:26 PM PST by

Nope -- this is an old laptop. What you see is the built-in trackball.

Feb 10th, 2010 at 6:56:05 PM PST by

I would but I don't have time or money to put into it, and I'm 3 credits short to bid.

Feb 11th, 2010 at 2:39:46 PM PST by

Has a floppy drive right?

Feb 11th, 2010 at 2:40:38 PM PST by

Yes

Feb 11th, 2010 at 2:55:56 PM PST by

"I think it's older than some of the people bidding on it." It's not older than me...... it's not 21 yet LOL

Feb 11th, 2010 at 2:44:19 PM PST by

Would you be able to put Vistia or Windows 7 on it? Also, would it be possible to upgrade grapics card, ram and other things like that?

Feb 11th, 2010 at 7:48:11 PM PST by

I believe the answer would be no. I've never heard of upgrading the graphics card in a laptop.

Feb 11th, 2010 at 7:58:54 PM PST by

Oh, and would it run Microsoft Word?

Feb 11th, 2010 at 7:48:27 PM PST by

It already has Microsoft Word installed -- version 6.0.

Feb 11th, 2010 at 7:59:59 PM PST by

I love your sense of humor maisel

Feb 12th, 2010 at 4:13:44 AM PST by

Feb 12th, 2010 at 7:50:57 AM PST by

Feb 12th, 2010 at 7:53:39 AM PST by

Feb 12th, 2010 at 12:40:56 PM PST by

Thank you!

Feb 12th, 2010 at 1:34:32 PM PST by

Feb 12th, 2010 at 1:03:04 PM PST by

It is his old laptop. I picked it up at his yard sale a few years back -- it was sitting in a box with a bunch of pink flamingos. I'll be listing his old lawn chairs next week.

Feb 12th, 2010 at 1:55:26 PM PST by

maisel, you've done good with this.
I hope mine does as well but it's not as up to date as yours!

Feb 12th, 2010 at 1:03:58 PM PST by

Thanks!

Feb 12th, 2010 at 1:36:14 PM PST by

can u hook up a cd rom to it

Feb 12th, 2010 at 2:29:48 PM PST by

You would need a USB PCMCIA Card and an external cd drive.

Feb 12th, 2010 at 4:24:49 PM PST by

Looks like a good deal - good if you know what you're doing with PCs. And besides, it's free. Who can complain?!

Feb 12th, 2010 at 5:23:02 PM PST by

Yep -- free shipping on this anywhere in the USA.

Feb 12th, 2010 at 5:36:07 PM PST by

Congrats, dude. This got WAY more points than I would have even imagined. If the one I have posted gets anywhere near the same credits, I'll be shocked.

Well done!

Feb 12th, 2010 at 6:26:12 PM PST by

cool

Feb 10th, 2010 at 8:22:00 AM PST by

Some guys use these older laptops as diagnostic machine. Something to do with lower voltage output so it will not fry the machine being tested.

Feb 6th, 2010 at 9:50:15 AM PST by

Thanks -- I did not know that. Also, I believe this meets the minimum specs for running Windows 95.
