For Sale: Vintage 1990's Toshiba Satellite Pro 400/810 laptop with a Pentium 75 CPU and 16MB RAM.
"...one of the best laptops for DOS gaming due to its active matrix 640x480 display and it's perfect SoundBlaster Pro compatibility."

Appears to be in pretty good working condition (see video) with some issues: the CD ROM drive will spin up but does not read discs. As seen in photos it's misssing a small side cover. Otherwise everything else currently seems to be working- the Accupoint control stick and buttons are good. All the keys on the keyboard are working. The TFT color LCD has has sharp color, nice and bright, no issues. Built in hardware volume control and audio working correctly. PCMCIA slot tested good.
Hard drive is 810MB. This model has a built in power supply and the power cord is included.The battery is Lithium Ion and it's definitly charging and holding a charge- not sure how long it will last but as you can see in the video it's pretty good. BIOS battery is dead but seems to save settings as long as the LiIon battery is installed or laptop is plugged in.
Windows 98 is installed. Microsoft Office with 97 with Word, Excel, etc. is installed and appears to be working great. Some software may not work but everything I tried was fine. With the excellent TFT screen this should be a good candidate for a retro DOS/Windows 98 gaming laptop- for testing I installed Diablo and MAME32 arcade emulator, etc., all seem to be working well.
It's pretty clean. Overall pretty good cosmetic with some minor wear here and there, see photos. Sold as a vintage collectible currently working well- have run probably 20 hours over last few months and booted 40+ times. Haven't tested every little thing on this laptop but it's described honestly and as accurately as possible.
