Manufacturer: Mitsubishi
Machine Type: MP286L
Model Number: MP-2120
Serial Number: A7161474
Current Status: Functions, but has bad hard drive.
Acquired: 1996
Remarks:
This laptop was manufactured in 1990 August and is a 286-10hmhz computer in a laptop form factor and has a customized carrying case. Actually, the proper word for this computer might actually be luggable, since the MP286L is almost 4 inches thick and weighs more than 10 pounds. It uses an 11.5 inch LCD standard 1.44 floppy drive, and a MFM 3.5 inch hard drive (type 11) and has a full size keyboard. An interesting feature of this laptop is that the power LED also functions as a reset button when it is pushed. While the machine boots up off a system floppy, the hard drive is unrecognized, even when running a generic CMOS setup program. Also, the latch holding the LCD closed is broken. Hopefully these issues will be rectified at a later date.
