My pentium /// 550mhz Dell Latitude laptop is getting long in the tooth. I have been running linux on it for years now but its not really to useful for that anymore either. I was using it for ADTPro disk transfers for Apple II systems but honestly my HP modern laptop is easier and faster.
Im thinking its time to put it back to a stock image of windows 98 and have fun with it the way it was meant to be again. I have tons of accessories, 2 removable floppy drives, a removeable CD-rom, and a removeable DVD-RW. Two still working battery packs. One works for over an hour!, and an secondary HDD removeable module. I never was able to get the docking base for it but thats fine.
I have a fondness for these things as I used to repair them when they were new. Its probably the easiest laptop to take apart. You could do a motherboard swap in 12 minutes flat without rushing. It was made pretty modular which is something you dont see anymore.
I think it would make a great gaming laptop so if anyone knows where I can find restore CD's that would be great. I threw all that stuff out years ago!
