Hi
I have one from new. I bought it to travel around the world with it back around 1991. I turned it on the other day and it comes up with a type of bios screen asking what do i want to configure. I do not think it has a hard drive. Once I get it back from being on display I will investigate more.

By any chance do you have the floppy to to load this Laptop. Even if you sent the file I may be able to copy it it to a floppy here.
Cheers Roy
Hi Roy,
I do have the original MS-DOS 3.30 Disk for this laptop. I will send you an image of the disk so you can write your own. Sent me a reminder on thex86generation@gmail.com or office@muzeuldecalculatoare.ro
Hello
I think at least one of them is in Poland, and that’s because I happen to have it in my junk. The sticker on the bottom of the case was smudged and barely legible. In my search for information about the hardware, I was guided by the symbol on the left side of the display, Tangram Mark III (??) so Google didn’t find anything. Until I came across this page. This piece is in poor condition and needs some love. The battery and drives are missing. I would appreciate a pinout of the power supply plug or any information or schematics.
