Quirks

  • I believe a stock installation of Windows 95 on floppies doesn't detect the PCMCIA controller, but I could be misremembering.
  • The modules and adapters from the Dell Latitude CP are compatible.

History

  • 2021-03-11: The computer is transported to my apartment.
  • 2021-05-10: The external keyboard works great until the broken internal keyboard turns evil. It becomes nigh impossible to the use computer.
  • 2021-05-19: A cheap spare parts Dell Latitude CPi arrives at my apartment from an eBay seller.
  • 2021-05-19: 📈 The keyboard from the spare parts machine is transplanted into the machine I got from Roswell and Marcie. Everything is now perfect.
  • 2023-07-26: The computer is temporarily transported back to my parents' place.
  • 2023-09-18: The computer is transported to the new home.
