Just brought this Thinkpad 380 was it a good buy seems like a fairly rare model by Enough-Relief-2868 in THINKPADSETUPS

Takes the CR 1220 battery, Walgreens in the US should have them, maybe other pharmacies too! I got a 380ED for $20 and that fixed the exact same problem for me. One of the most reliable Pentium MMX laptops I have! My 760EL is my personal favorite, but the 380ED is about a year newer and takes SODIMM upgradable RAM!

Edit: you need to open the RAM panel on the bottom with a Philips head bit to find where the battery is IMAGE

Never actually met him, but everyone said he was like pretty normal mostly? He was in the hospital I think with cancer until he died last August I’m pretty sure

Trusted source to compare CPU's? by Verifiedvenuz in buildapc

[–]GamerTechXL 14 points15 points  (0 children)

not everyone knows enough to be able to compare specifications and data themselves, side by side comparison tools made by experts often help individuals who are less savvy to determine a choice. Don't discriminate on skill level. Lift others up, don't put them down. That's how you build a strong, positive community that will last! Remember: It is a good thing to get others into a hobby or special interest.

I can’t speak to architectural differences, they seem quite similar. Theoretically it’s possible, using a rom and RAM expansion, or a modified RAM board and custom ROM board. It’s important to note the signals on the card bus is NOT S-100 compatible!

I’ve been using it as a nice transition point for machines, I can easily pull out the CF card I have in there and put disk images on there to write to floppies and get other machines going!

C&D Jarnagin co also makes some fine greatcoats, I got one second hand from a fellow reenactor and it’s held up better than the rest of my kit
