Win 95? Get real! Real men run WIN98. Lady Heather runs fine on WIN98. I
use a Compaq Armada 1700 running WIN98 at 230 MHz. I have run it (but not
lately) on a steam driven 90 MHz Fujitsu laptop with passive matrix screen.
You would be amazed at what you can find laptop wise on Ebay. I wanted a
laptop to run Mach3 for a small CNC mill/laser cutter. Laptops can be
problematic with Mach3 because they want to drop into sleep modes at the worst
possible time. I found a reference that a 2+ GHz Compaq EVO N610C laptop
works fine with Mach3 and has hardware serial and parallel ports, wifi, etc.
Checking Ebay at the time, I found several in the $75-$150 dollar range. And
a listing for 5 of them, loaded with XP and Office for $150 total... shipped.
She also tossed in 7 extra battery packs (all good). That's a lot of CPU power
for $30 a copy... The screen on my Armada recently died and I had to pay over
$50 for a new Armada.
