Toshiba Satellite T2400CT - life under Windows 3.11
Do you know what lies on your mezzanine? Good question…
Since the New Year holidays are so long, I decided to put things in order at home, and I was very surprised when I brought out the Toshiba Satellite T2400CT laptop from the dusty shelf. Honestly, I thought I threw it three years ago. But instead of correcting this misunderstanding and sending the laptop in the trash, I decided that such a fate was unworthy of him.

And for good reason - when I connected it to the network and pressed the power button, the laptop booted and showed me Windows 3.11. Well, I thought, and decided to write a review.
And if you have already stopped celebrating the New Year, or you just ran out of alcohol, you are welcome to look at pornography for robots. (Be careful, there is almost no text, some photos)
Toshiba Satellite T2400CT laptop with its characteristics does not shine:
The processor is 486DX2, 50 MHz int./25 MHz ext
Memory - 8 MB RAM, expandable to 24 MB
Hard Drive - 320 MB
Display - 21 cm (8.4 ") with a color active TFT LCD matrix that supports a resolution of 640 x 480 (256 colors)
On the left side of the case there is a power connector, a power button and a PCMCIA 2.0 Type II slot (5 mm).
On the right side of the case there is a PCMCIA 2.0 Type III slot, a plug where there could be an audio card and two PS \ 2 connectors for connecting a mouse and a keyboard.
On the back of the case, under the caps, the VGA, LPT connectors, the port-replicator connector (in the middle), the SCSI 2 interface, and the COM port hid.
The dimensions of the notebook are 300 x 223 x 56.6 mm, and its weight is 3.2 kg. From above - the Odeon TPC-10 tablet for comparison of dimensions.
And let's sort it out ?? Let's!
Disconnect the power supply.
We take out the battery.
We reach the matrix.
Wow! Made in Japan!
Turn off the screws.
Remove the palm rest.
Disconnect the keyboard.
What is there, under the black film?
And here is the battery. Rechargeable.
Let's take this thing off too.
It became much more interesting!
Indicators.
320 MB hard drive
Another battery.
Drive.
Fuh, all dismantled! Now you canthrow out to collect and turn on.
Since Windows 3.11 on a laptop is not ordinary, but for workgroups, we get such a thing out of store.
We connect the laptop to the local network.
Turn on! We set the time.
Look at the characteristics
And run Windows 3.11 for workgroups.
There are quite a few interesting programs left on the laptop:
Total commander
Borland pascal
Solitaire
ICQ. So it did not connect.
And this is how Habrahabr in Internet Explorer looks like
Start Word
Now write something
Run Doom, wait half an hour until it loads
We leave from Windows
Turning off the laptop, put in a bag and take to the entrance to the merry children.
UPD: I took the laptop from the entrance, apparently there he was useless. Pickup from MO - and it is yours.
UPD2: New owner found
