Title: Found a Compaq G80 11800
Post by: Redostrike on Thu, 23 July 2015, 08:32:00

Sweet,

Colleague of me said that a company dropped some IT stuff in there warehouse ready for destruction. Went 'dumpster' diving and found an MX 11800. Not sure what works and what not but gonna check that out at home later today. Not sure what i'm gonna do with it at this point. Might be selling (if there is even any interest in it) or modding it. Or just leaving it as is. Anyways gonna wait to decide after i test it.

Well pretty nice, it has a bit of a colour though but the key's are pretty clean. I havent got the time to test it though. Need a old computer for PS/2 testing. if i get arround i'll make some pictures when i get home.

Sounds good, I would love to see pictures of it  ;)

To make it easier I would just buy a PS/2 to USB adapter.
