History and other comments

I bought this machine used back in Y2K. I used it in school for writing reports and for copying large files over a cross-linked ethernet cable. It worked very well, much better than the parallell port ZIP-100 drive that was so popular in those days. This little machine certainly has made value of it's price, during the years!

I upgraded it's hard disk (the original disk was only 1.3GB) at some point, because it used to be serving as my Internet gateway, at the time when I had a wireless connection to the Internet (at that time it was less expensive to set up a wireless connection using a system equipped with onboard PCMCIA card slots). Even today it may be a good enough system for this type of assignment,  NATting, routing and such.

In my opinion it performs very much like a desktop P100 evethough it has less cache. The older Toshiba laptop models were really much slower. I can't, however, run many programs at the same time on this box. Single CPU peecees are meant for doing only one thing at a time...

Since the beginning of 2004 this computer has been retired, I have a new Internet Gateway.
