Data and photos will be added soon to document this Pentium 1 non-MMX laptop model.
The Alpha-Top plastics do look a little weird. The texture is sort of odd, although some of my other Taiwan-made laptops do look a little similar. Not as strange though.I working in the plastics industry for years and have to say that whatever PC they used has to have been crap.
Can you post a photo of that?It appears to be a single NiMH cell with solder tabs about a dime in size
Some dell laptops did support the same thing. I have an adapter that goes from parallel to Dell’s C Series modular bay connector for use with a floppy drive. I’d honestly doubt that there was any sort of standard though.One thing I'm thinking about trying is a Chicony MP975 laptop external parallel port floppy adapter cable and a MP975 floppy drive connected to the G755's parallel port. The Green 755 used a parallel port adapter device with a G755 floppy module for dual drive use when the CD module was installed into the single drive bay. So both laptops used the parallel port for the same abilities and both need the same signals, I assume. It might be interesting t see if the Chicony floppy solution also works too. There's no reason to believe it does, but maybe the two companies looked over each other's shoulders and shared pinouts/designs. Was there a standard for Taiwanese laptops?
