I have a IBM thinkpad (win 95) complete with original restore disks. The hard drive is 100% clean. I can check tomorrow for the 9 pin port (I am at work till 7:30 am CST). | ||

If it's a think pad, it more then likely has the 9 pin serial port, especially a machine from that era. If you have trouble getting windows on it (i.e. no CDRom or no working CDRom) ping me offline, I have some cool alternate approaches. It might be a non standard UART driving the serial port though, if you get it and windows has problems recognizing the port, you may need to hunt up a bios utility to tell the IBM uart to play dumb and act like a legacy serial port. | ||

I would say to go with an IBM or Toshiba laptop. As a computer tech i have found these to be better quaility and last longer than most other brands. | ||
