Classic Collectable Toshiba T3100 late 80's Portable Computer, with Gas Plasma Display.

Condition: Working. Has a screen issue (please view all photos).

Comes with original Carry Bag, which has stored it for many years. The carry bag has some split seams.

The Toshiba T3100 was released in 1986, with a 80286 CPU running at 8MHz. It had 640KB system memory, which could be upgraded to 2.6MB. It shipped with MS-DOS 3.2. This one appears to have been upgraded to MS DOS 5.0 and is running xTree Gold etc.

Storage includes a standard 3.5" 720KB floppy diskette drive, and an internal 10MB hard disk drive.

The T3100 has an interesting display adapter. It was fully CGA compatible, however it also had a special high-resolution (for the time) 640x400 display mode, which is similar to and partially compatible with the Olivetti/AT&T 6300 graphics. The T3100 display is a 9.6" monochrome orange Gas Plasma panel capable of displaying a very sharp image in this special hi-res mode. An external monitor could also be connected via a 9-pin RGB port.

It has a built-in handle (which doubles as a stand when the system is in use) and to help make it easier to carry.

Although classified as portable, the T3100 was probably better described as a luggable computer.

Ideal for a vintage computer collector, perhaps someone with the skills to repair the Gas Plasma display panel connections? and return it to 100%
