Hi!

I'm looking for an old Zenith laptop with the 26-pin type HD. The HD does
NOT need to be working, nor does it need to have the HD - as long as it has
a good controller. I don't need an external P/S, or a battery, either,
since I have a bunch of old 12V P/S's laying around.

I am willing to trade a WANG WLTC laptop for it, which has an internal P/S
problem (popped a cap - probably dry electrolytic) It needs an external P/S
(18V) and battery. The computer has a built-in thermal printer, and HD.
The computer DOES operate, provided it has a battery and P/S (and the blown
cap is replaced). I have the schematics on how to make a battery for it.

I'm not necessarily looking for a Zenith, but any computer (laptop) with a
26-pin HD will do (same requirements - no battery, etc.). I'll be willing
to trade for any computer BUT a Toshiba.

I'm trying to rescue data off of two HD's that I have from Tandy 1400HD
laptops, and I think I may have better luck finding a new computer than a
new HD controller for the 1400.

As always, ThAnX in advance,
--
