Congratz! That laptop is small and very portable. But I am worried about its battery life time. Btw, the specs sheet says it has 32 mb ram, but you can insert a 128 mb ram chip to get 160 mb... did the previous owner do that? FDD... interesting graphics card... lol! fair enough

D'oh! I'm talking about the instrument... keyboard It has an 800 mb harddisk for midi, wav and other files... 33 mb RAM (1 mb integrated + 32 mb extended) for uncompressed WAV sampling It has a Floppy drive so I can transfer my recordings (for example ringtones ) to my PC, or the other way. Anyway, back to topic now

It's a Yamaha PSR-8000. The top model of year 2000. Remember; Instruments are expensive.

Wow man! That's cool stuff I wanna try that out on my old IBM ThinkPad 340 from 1996! Specs are (to keep on topic): 486SLC processor clocked at 50 MHz 4 mb ram, expandable to 12 mb (btw, it costs at least 40$ for an 8 mb ram upgrade ;D) 123 mb harddisk greyscale screen with VGA resolution. VGA video output for color screens. parallel and serial ports PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard 1,44 mb floppy drive And btw, +1 karma for you SandStorm I will take my old laptop and install windows 3.0 on it. I feel like a KNT (Kid with New Toy)!

DOS is cool! Btw, would it be possible to install linux on my old lappy? And what about Windows 95? I would need to install it with floppies... edit: lol, one more question. Where can I download Windows 3.1? I only have windows 3.0 on floppies...

Congratz! Now, compare the new battery with the old one. I presume it's more than 3 x better
