I saw two Toshiba 1000E laptops at a thrift store today. $9.98 each.
Nice shape. No idea of working condition and they don't come with power
supplies. But a nice little unit for homebrew stuff, and they were
definitely nice designs for their time (somewhere around 1987 I would
guess).
Anyone want me to grab one or both?
