Saved a Compaq Portable(w/5.25" FD and unknown 5.25" FH HD) from a
dumpster... AFTER a 10 foot flight into it! Plugged it in and it still
works... Needs some repairs, I can hear stuff rattling around inside, but
it does work... Booted from the hard drive with Compaq DOS 3.31. Also got a
MasterSport 386SL(386SX-20, 4MB RAM, 63MB HD) and a 486 motherboard(gonna
set it up with Linux or something). Also getting a 1970 VW Bug for my
birthday next week... I suppose this makes it a good day despite the belt
clip on my radio breaking this morning(now I get to make a nice metal one
to replace the broken plastic one).
