Any interest here in oldish X86 laptops?(AROS UAE etc)

[redrumloa]

Hey there I just purchased countless older laptops, mostly between P100 and P266. I know what to expect selling them on eBay, and that's where most of them will likely be sold. I am just curious if there is any inerest here in some of them?

My thinking is these would be good for either AROS or even more so WinUAE. UAE JIT on a P266 should deliver over 060 performance and on a P100 ~040 performance. These would make cheap ~Amiga laptops as they would only be selling on eBay for ~$75-$250 price range (very rough ballpark).

@Thomas

That's odd, you must have very low system memory? i guess I will have to test a few when I get a chance:-)

@adolescent

Have you ever tried the new WinUAE with JIT? It is VERY fast as long as you have enough RAM.

@Jagabot

I will be testing and sorting starting tommorow, I will have more information soon. I would think at least some of the ~P266 models would have USB. i will resurrect this thread as soon as I have more info.

Here's the first one tested and listed.

Looks like the vast majority of them will be parts only machines, but this one is good working.

The battery seems to work fine. It took a charge and i left it on and running on battery power for quite a while with what appeared to be normal usage.

The picture shows the laptop running on battery power.
