[ForSale-Swap] SWAP: FT-8900R & 2 Laptops for Newer Laptop

[Duane B. Fischer, W8DBF]

Hmmm. Let the swapper beware? See his dozens of posts about 'cash poor' on the
'forsale-swap' list over the past six months. He is buying from Ham fests and
selling here and other places, which is perfectly fine, but the reason is what
seems to be somewhat foggy.

I am in need of a 500MHz+ CPU laptop computer for radio room
use in excellent condition.

We are cash-poor due to new steel home construction (see URL
in my sig for pictures) so I need to work a swap.

I have the following to swap:

1.  Yaesu FT-8900R in original box with all original items.

2.  Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CT w/CD drive, outboard fdd,
     modem, mouse, Win98, some freeware Ham and other freeware
     apps loaded.  Works really well, I use it frequently,
     though like most older laptops battery is soft.

3.  Compaq LTE-5280 w/modem, mouse, Win98, outboard Pinnacle
     Micro Recordable CD RCD 4x4 (untested), Compaq Spare HDD
     case w/padded holder (into which you may place a laptop
     HDD to swap in and out in additional the included HDD).
     This laptop works fine, is known to be Linux-friendly,
     like most older laptops battery is soft.

4.  Perhaps other items depending on the laptop.

Prefer an IBM Thinkpad 600-series laptop (500 or 650MHz) but
will consider others, especially IBM Thinkpads that use the
600-series accessories.  Battery needs to take and hold a
good charge, though I don't expect it to be as-new.
