I just got this lappy from a friend for Christmas; her dad found it in an abandoned rental house. It's a 486DX2/50 with 4MB (I think; this sounds a little low) RAM and a 320MB hard disk (dead; neither my Windows nor Linux boxes could mount it). I was thinking to replace the power adapter (he couldn't find it) and replace the hard disk with a CompactFlash card, then throw either Windows 3.1 or Linux on it and keep it around as a little word-processor and trinket. Is it worth doing this? A power adapter would cost around $50, and a CF card + adapter around $30. Or should I just part it out on ebay?
