Applications
The Toshiba Satellite series was among the most popular portable PC lines of the early-to-mid 1990s, and the T1960CT represents the company's 486-generation notebook lineup. At introduction, 486DX2/50 machines like this one were capable business and productivity computers running MS-DOS and early Windows 3.x. Today, units like this are sought by vintage computing collectors, DOS enthusiasts, and hobbyists who run period software, games, or legacy industrial and scientific programs that require real DOS hardware. The PCMCIA slot supports period-correct network cards, modems, and storage devices. The serial and parallel ports on the rear make it compatible with a wide range of legacy peripherals and instruments. A replacement CMOS battery (typically a 1/2AA 3.6V lithium cell or similar, depending on the board) and a period power adapter are needed to bring the unit back into service.
This Toshiba Satellite T1960CT/320 486DX2 laptop has been inspected and is in used condition with cosmetic wear consistent with its age. The main battery is fully depleted and no longer holds a charge, and the CMOS battery is also bad and will need replacement. No operating system is installed on the 320MB hard drive. The laptop does not include a power adapter. The chassis shows general age-related yellowing and light surface wear typical of early 1990s portable computers. The rear port panel (VGA, parallel, serial) and the 1.44MB floppy drive are intact as shown in the photos. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
