I want to tell the respected Habr community about a retro laptop born in 1991. By the way, Google will not give you intelligible information not about Veridata, not about OptiLite 486S / 50 laptop itself. Interestingly, the veridata.com domain belongs to Oracle. But our talk today will not be about that ...

Processor 486SLC2-50MP 50 MHz
RAM 4Mb

LPT port with twists of brightness and contrast
S-video output, COM port and a connector for connecting b / p

A little war with the bolts and removing the socket with LEDs, to which part-mounted screen can detect the hard disk (why is plastered with scotch) infamous office Seagate
couple shared a photo last
I almost forgot to mention the plastic of which the case is made: pleasant to the touch, rough (I have never seen such a thing before), quite a few brands. Generally interesting case material
