[WTB][US] Old Laptop

Kreij · 11-02-2009, 09:40 PM

I'm looking for an old latop.

Minimum Requirements:
- Able to run (meaning have available drivers for) Windows 98 SE.
- Only needs enough HD space to hold Win98 and one other small program.
- Must have a CD Drive.
- Must have a floppy drive.
- Must have a serial port .

A USB port would be nice, but not requred.
An RJ45 port would be nice, but not required.
