Hello Everybody --

Would anybody be interested in a Compaq Portable III? It's
Model 2660 120/240 V, orange screen luggable. Here's a page
with pictures I found: http://oldcomputers.net/compaqiii.html

It powers up, passes RAM check (640 Kbyte) and then has an error about
options not set, then another about time and date. I assume
its CMOS RAM battery is flat. I don't know whether it has
a hard drive (I think so) or whether it will boot or is
repairable. It has a UK keyboard.

Free to first person to e-mail me saying they'll come collect it
(from London WC1). "Otherwise it goes in the skip!"

Many thanks,
Jonathan.
