Model Number: 5140
Serial Number: 2683100-26-0007101
Current Status: Working, see remarks
Acquired: Jul 1997
Remarks:
This model is a 4.77mhz machine with 512k and 720k floppy drives and CGA LCD. Also pictured is the parallel and serial and composite video adaptors as well as the hard to find printer option. All these plug into the back of the computer. Also included with the computer is the matching 9inch monochrome monitor. The original power supply has a dodgy power connection but I was able to purchase and unused power supply in its box for $5. The battery is bad so it can only run off a/c power for the moment. I had a spare LCD and two floppy drives, as well as the guide to operations and the startup disk. This machine also has basic power management, including a resume/suspend feature.
