Two very different 386SX-16 'laptops', both from 1990.
Left: A Taiwanese Acer Anyware 1100LX
Right: Japanese Epson PC-386 Note A

💾 Have a great Friday evening and weekend folks, it's time for my retro fun to begin. 💾

This Acer has hands down the best ever monochrome screen I've ever seen on a laptop, it's a triple supertwist nematic LCD, the clarity is absolutely beautiful 😍

Epson PC-386 Note A update:
I got the original hard drive working, whoop!
It has an original install of MS-DOS 3.3, so I'll be preserving that. I've switched out the drive for a CF card, currently installing the Japanese PC-9800 version of MS-DOS 6.20.....

@foone just getting my head around PC-98, it's a new adventure for me, loving it. I have managed to get a Gotek connected up to the Epson laptop so far and it's working really well, it was tricky as it's an unusual 2 mode 640k/1.2mb (hardware) floppy drive.

ICQ

@foone that would be really awesome, so many good memories with ICQ. Remember the free SMS messaging, back then it used to cost 12 pence (UK) per message, this was a life saver for a skint teenager.
