While I research other methods of hooking my WM phone to my MS ECU, I need a laptop in the meantime.

I don't need anything fancy, just an older laptop that'll run at least Windows 95 on it, with a serial port on it.

I'd really like to trade stuff, as I've got TONS of shit here I need to get rid of to clear my office out, rather than buy one.

Anyone here got one for me?

You can check my recent for sale threads, and I also have 2 RD2 hoods, boxed up and ready to go (OEM), a black one that needs some paint work, and a red one that is pretty much pristine.

Help a brotha out.

I've got an old laptop and need a hood... however it would suck to ship one from you to me.

I think it's ~800 mhz Dell Latitude.

I have a laptop, it's a Dell... I think an 800mhz. Might be that same as Supercows.
The battery doesn't hold a charge though, so you have to keep it plugged in all the time to use it. Works fine in the car with a cheap $20 inverter.
It's worth nothing to me though, so you can have it for a pittance if you want it. tongue.gif

What info can you give me on it? I've got inverters, but I could also pick up a new battery for it.

Can you get me a model # and such so I can look it up?

I'll give you 3 pittances for it and shipping.

I just went and grabbed it out of the closet to find out exact specs for you.
Booted it up and the screen won't come on.
Guess this thing is garbage, sorry man. 02.gif

hey, redz, let me know if you still need something. Just need to pop a harddrive in it and load an OS.
