The car I bought back then was less expensive than this piece of tech. I think that says something about the quality of this laptop. After more than 20 years, It still boots with the original hard disk. Overhead projectors have been obsolete for a long time, but back then it was amazing what that laptop could do. But the laptop was still too slow to work as a scan server. So I tried Silver fast and it worked out. First I tried Vuescan, but that software created some funny scanning results. I always enjoy the unpacking of these old parts.
To connect the scanner, I got myself an original sealed Adapter PCMCIA SCSI card. Lots of crazy stuff for a Laptop back then. The hard disk was encrypted with a special secure card. The infrared wireless keyboard was also something special back then. Why ahead of its time? Because you could take off the screen to use it on an over head projector. This laptop was ahead of its time back then.
My first idea was to use my old Scenic Mobile 800.
