on4now4 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I am looking for an old laptop preferably IBM but as long as it is durable and has a decent screen brightness I am fine. The specs I need -serial port-floppy drive-hard drive 20Gb is plenty I will use this only for taking to the track with me and downloading/analizing data from my car. Let me know if you have anything? I just figured I would throw it out there before I spend way to much money on e-bay. Someone must have one laying around that they will never use again?
