600E w/CD-Burner/max ram
Posted: Sun May 17, 2009 7:37 pm
*EDIT 05/23-09: If anyone is interested make me an offer! I hate to see it go to Goodwill or parted out. Will cost about $15 to ship in the US parcel post insured -- I'll pay anything over $15. Send me an e-mail with an offer!
I've decided to sell my 600E that I've been using for traveling as an Internet/e-mail machine. I'd like to get $100 plus shipping (actual shipping cost) for the whole set-up. I retired from the USAF and don't travel much anymore, plus my wife wants a desktop to replace her P3 laptop, which will then be used on the occasion I do travel and want/need a computer. Details and photos below. I'll be happy to answer any additional questions, just send me an e-mail (farna AT att.net).
The bad:
Trackpoint doesn't work. I changed the bios to not look for it when booting. Works great with a ps/2 mouse with no boot errors. One of the latches are broken, but that's never been a problem. The tray cover on the optical drive isn't an exact match for the Thinkpad case, but it's black and doesn't look bad. Case shows a little wear, but it's been well taken care of!
The good:
* Maxed out with the fastest PII the 600E supports (366 MHz) and the max RAM (BIOS reports 294336K at boot, XP reports 288MB).
* 12GB hard drive.
* No dead pixels or other screen problems.
* Runs XP with no problems (I've been running XP Pro). It boots a bit slower with XP, but runs faster than Win98SE once booted.
* Optical drive is a Lite-On LSC-24082k combo CD/DVD player & CD-burner. Plays DVD movies fine using PowerDVD XP (version 4 -- newer versions don't work on these older machines!). Also plays DIVx movies. PowerDVD4 and a DIVx player are loaded on the HD. I use Nero for burning photo CDs when traveling. PowerDVD 4 CD will be included.
* Comes with two batteries. One I got with the computer when I bought it in 2002. It lasts for about 30 minutes when fully charged. The other I bought around 2005 new and lasts around 1 hour fully charged. Times are when using the internet/e-mail with a hard line connection (ethernet). I typically use the computer plugged into the wall with the battery out, but occasionally use it with one of the batteries to keep them up.
* An IBM PC-card ethernet card is included with dongle.
* I'll also include a Targus carry case and a PS/2 optical mouse (no adapter needed!).
* External power supply and cables are of course included!
Everything except PowerDVD4 CD and Ethernet card/dongle shown in photos.
