Hey All,

Im in need of a cheap PC laptop that can run DOS and Win 95/98. It dosen't need to be a speed deamon as I only need it once in a while for diagnostics (most run via DOS)

Hopefully someone has something old lying around that fits this description.

Would like: battery, floppy (a CD drive is a bonus, or if I am able to buy CD drive elsewhere) AC adapter, serial and standard PC ports.

Let me know of anything out there, or what model that goes for cheap you would recommend.

You'll probably get a quicker solution if you look over at the Ars Agora or Anandtech F/S forums if you haven't already.
