Hopefully it's not breaking the rules to post a link to an eBay auction - couldn't see that this is specifically frowned on anywhere, so here goes:

IBM Power Series 850 PowerPC laptop. A fantastic machine for its time, runs AIX (IBM's Unix) and has the following spec:
100MHz PowerPC CPU
96MB RAM
1GB HDD, other drives can be added via the SCSI interface
12" colour screen
CD drive
Token ring PCMCIA adapter, although no cable for this
VGA interface
SCSI interface
Parallel and serial ports
Composite video/audio in
IBM "brick" power adapter
Installed with AIX v4.2.1

Left mouse button a little unreliable and HDD a bit noisy, but otherwise everything is in full working order.
