I've got one of those cute Sharp lunchboxes (NEC V20 808x-equivalent, dual 5.25" floppies, no HD) if anyone in the US wants to give it a better home.

It'd make a nice terminal, but I'm running out of reasons to ever need a terminal.

If you decide to trash it I'll take the V20 CPU.  I've been wanting one to upgrade an old PCjr.  (Maybe the floppies also if they are working, black, and half-height).


I don't think so.  (This is too beautiful a machine to be gutted or trashed, and the floppies are somewhat special gray pushbutton-ejection models.)

I do have access to some regular XT clones for gutting, but if you're in CA, you should be able to find 20 every day at the dump.

(Other good sources for V20s would be old laptops of many forms -- especially NEC-branded ones, obviously -- or Tandy 1000s, but if you find a 1000SX you'd be best served using that and junking/mini-ITXing the PCjr.)
