Epson ActionNote 650 (made by Compal)
Cyrix 486DX2-50MHz (standard socketed desktop CPU)
8mb RAM (4mb onboard + 4mb upgrade)
260mb Seagate hard drive (no bad sectors)
9.4" monochrome 640x480 LCD
Floppy drive (fully tested)
Trackball (works but not great)
Original power adapter included. Tip has broken plastic but no bad connections.
Fresh install of DOS 6.22 & Windows 3.1
ISSUE: Batteries are dead and it loses CMOS settings every time you turn it on. Because of this, the screen defaults to a dark contrast. You simply use the keyboard keys to brighten it. It also works fine with a standard VGA monitor.
ALSO
(not pictured) I also have a generic branded one that's nearly identical but with a DX-33 & 4mb RAM. It has the original manual and power adapter. It boots but is more of a parts machine. $40 for that or $75 on both.
