Laptops from System76 and Framework are always advertising that they work well with Linux, but that's NOTHING compared to this.
the funny thing about this computer? it's one of the first ones I've seen at ewaste that has CLEARLY been opened up to take the hard drive out.
why is that funny? it doesn't have a hard drive. This is a solid state/floppy PC, no hard drive included.
they still left personal info on it, though.
I KNOW ABOUT YOUR SPANISH BAND'S CD RELEASE!
This is a brother Personal Digital Notebook.
A very dirty one that's missing most of the screws.
So this was a computer designed for people who just needed something cheap to do word processing and the like. The details on the specs are rare, but apparently it has 5 megabyte of ROM, 4 megabyte of RAM, and 1 megabyte of flash storage.
Since this is the NB-80C, it's got a 10.4" 640x480 color LCD. (the NB-60 has a 9.4" 640x480 greyscale LCD)
Yeah here's our main menu. The obvious office stuff, internet, file manager, preferences, calculator.
hey look, the file manager says there's a command.com on the F:\

made a DOS 6.22 bootdisk. Let's see if it'll boot that.
nope. it doesn't seem to boot off floppies.
But I was able to use the command.com from it to finally check the memory. Yep, 4mb.
@foone they know the existence of the Pentium/66 so... 1996 or 1997?
@the_turtle This program might be newer than the computer
@foone aha. DOS 6.22 was summer of 1994...
