I still have my Toshiba 1200HD. At the time, it had 640K of RAM. I installed a special 1200BAUD modem card which brought the RAM up to 2MB. It has a 10MB harddriive and a 720K floppy drive, which made it difficult to install DOS 6.2.

It still runs. The battery is dead and the LCD screen is cracked, but I can hook up an old VGA display and it will boot.

In the 1990's I found an old TI computer from the late 1970's at a flea market. The guy wanted list price for it ($120). It was worth maybe $20. He wouldn't deal. I think my old Commodore-64 is around someplace...
