I have an Austin M1RC that has a few details that are minor inconveniences.
1) HDD caddy isn't present and it would make it easier to install a drive and screw it in
2) The TrackPoint is gooey and sticky and I'm not sure if the ones for the IBM ThinkPads would work theoretically speaking
3) The display locking clip is busted and it won't stay closed
4) I'm not sure if the system can get a CD-ROM installed where the floppy drive goes or if it's a floppy drive only (the drive works)
5) Requesting the original hard drive that came with the system so I can have all of the drivers since some of them are like unicorns online: extremely rare and 404 errors.
6) The display power switch is busted and I might be able to repair it with super glue and baking soda, however, a new one would work.
The display power switch internally is fine, it's the plastic one that springs up and down that presses the button down internally to shut the screen off.
It currently runs on a Pentium 100 with 16MB RAM on a i430MX chipset with an ES1688F sound chip and TFT active.
Must be within the US.
