This CRT Luggable Makes Sense - There was a time when portable computing meant not a svelte laptop but a suitcase-... - https://hackaday.com/2023/08/28/this-crt-luggable-makes-sense/ #luggablecomputer #cyberdecks #cyberdeck #luggable #crt

I want a #luggable computer case, so I could at least have some "laptop" with #ECC memory. -_-

#ECCMemory

Last night’s nightmare (maybe too strong a word): ordered laptop for co-worker, but a huge box showed up inside in was a #Kaypro or #Compaq #luggable, apparently with no packing material and no keyboard. It also seemed to be powered on for no reason (I could see a glowing amber screen). I tried to refuse delivery but the carrier wouldn’t let me.

@PastaThief that on top isn't a weird folder but actually printer.

It's likely modeled after the #Aetryx #luggable...

It’s alive! 🥳 Got 1 of 2 dead #Commodore #SX64 machines to boot. Saw cursor not blinking at #BASIC prompt could be loose IO board, & it was! Passes diagnostics, but #SID is missing instruments & internal speaker isn’t working. Disks unstested.

The other #luggable #C64 has many problems. Makes horrible speaker noise, disk drive spins, and garbage on the screen. Disconnecting IO board gets a white screen, which may be a bad PLA. Also has a custom ROM! 🤔

I need to order parts!

Yesterday, the topic of 'luggable' mobile computers came up in connection to the Kaypro 2X and I remembered I had seen something in an old Vobis advertisement - it wasn't a Compaq, but from their own Highscreen brand! Here's the complete page and a closeup of the ad - from the 64'er Magazin January 1990! #retrocomputing #vintage #vintagecomputer #laptop #luggable #vobis #highscreen

Is there anyone in the Detroit area who would be able to help me get my Osbourne Vixen running? It's been sitting in my closet for the past two years, but the fuse keeps blowing.
