Group,

If anyone collects moderately early computers, I have a Compaq Portable 1 
(8086) and a Compaq Portable 2 (80286) available.  These were if I recall 
correctly my fifth and sixth (and last) luggables.  

I don't recall exactly how the P1 is currently configured.  I think it has 
something like a 20 MB HD and one FD.  But it is in the original padded carrying 
case.

The P2 is one of the three-bay prototype units that I don't think ever 
reached production.  One HD and two FD.

Both were, as they say, "working when last turned on".  Probably MSDOS 3.3 or 
so installed.  They are both well traveled, having made numerous trips to 
Naval Station Guam, as well as Europe and the Middle East.
Sell outright or swap for military radio bits.
