This video is a quick overview of the Compaq Portable, running MS-DOS 2.11, 8088 CPU, 360k 5.25" floppy disc drives and 10Mb hard disk.
This was the first device Compaq made and earned them America's most successful startup company, with $100M in their first year, second year $300M, third year $500M.
If you have a faulty power supply or want to convert a US 120v device to European or multi voltage, then you can easily fit a standard AT PC power supply board in the space inside.
If you enjoy looking around this kind of vintage retro gear then please check out my other videos.
The foam/foil capacitance pads that I used to repair the keyboard were purchased from texelec.com
The MS-DOS disc I purchased from www.baffo71.com
