*SOLD*
1) Guys this is my 701c with the Butterfly keyboard. I have this on Chicago Craigslist, as they host photos, so I am posting a link to my own CL listing with PHOTOS-
http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/sys/4900921885.html
I am moving and have had to clear out a lot of stuff. I WILL ship this to other Forum Members. This 701c has been with me a long time, the computer works and it triple boots into installations of DOS 6.22, Windows 95, and Windows 98, via 'System Commander'. The computer turns on, runs, it shows 160,000 Kb / 16 mb of ram on boot up, the cmos battery as you might expect is dead and needs replacement. The three operating systems were installed using a old Backpack pc card cd-rom drive, and the computer 'looks' for the backpack drive on startup.. you need to press escape as I recall to move past the prompt for the cd-rom drive..
I am sure this backpack drive prompt can be deleted, but I have not tried to do so.
The computer will be shipped with all accessories shown in the pics, including a port replicator (one screw on back of port replicator has minor surface rust), two batteries and one battery case, one floppy drive and one floppy drive cable. I also intend to ship the computer and accessories inside the pictured case that it has been stored in to offer added padding and protection in transit.
The two batteries that come with the computer need to be rebuilt. Neither of the batteries I am shipping with the computer are in working condition.
The RAM cover has a piece of tape holding it in place, and the power switch needs to be pushed all the way forward to turn on the computer, however the switch issue may be normal for this model - this is the only one I have owned. Please ask any questions BEFORE saying "I will take it", "sold" etc.. I will sell to the first buyer who announces that he is buying the unit, but I will give preference to a buyer who immediately takes both this 701c and the Toshiba CT320 listed below. You will need to paypal me the funds before I ship.
I will sell this for $120 plus actual shipping to be paid by buyer via paypal. I do not wish to ship internationally, only within the USA.

2) ALSO.. I have this Toshiba 320CT mini Pentium computer for sale that may interest someone.. It is in working condition but I destroyed the hard drive due to the fact that I used this computer daily for quite some time.. You would need to buy and install a new hard drive in it. -

I do NOT warrant the battery in the 320CT and assume its likely dead. The 320CT comes with a charger, port replicator and battery. I do NOT want to ship this separately, due to the low price. I will sell the 320CT to anyone who also buys the thinkpad 701c for $20 extra, plus cost of actual shipping for both computers.
The $20 price is ONLY valid to the purchaser of the 701c, I will not ship the 320CT individually. The 320CT is the slightly bigger brother {and more practical brother} to the Toshiba Libretto that I I long lusted after but never actually owned. The 320CT is in good condition and working minus the hard drive and the PC card door is included but has a broken tab that prevents it from staying mounted in place.
