Toshiba T3200

[DjKraid]

Hi!

I have an old Toshiba T3200 and I was wondering if anyone knows how to get the hdd copied??

The "laptop" works but it would take so long for it to copy everything to an FDD so I was thinking if there's another way?

Norton Ghost (I use this one)
Acronis True Image (most users like this one, images and backup incrementally)
Acronis Migrate Easy (Just disk clone - quite good!)
Drive Image (Basically an alternative)
DriveImage XML (This one is free!)
MaxBlast (I haven't used this, but it's free)
Pc-Disk-Clone (Home Edition: Up to 2GB/min, Pro Edition: Up to 7GB/min)

Imaging: Backs up your entire system, including Windows and data, plus your partition as well. The image can be stored on removable media, such as DVD. And usually takes under an hour (depending on size of image) to fully recover to a blank HardDrive.

Tha Toshiba T3200 has only a FD drive so it would be hard to get it to a DVD...!
but anyways...12MHz, 1Mb ram, 40Mb HDD, FDD, no battery, 8.5Kg and so on...

Yes you need to remove the HardDrive and plug it into a Desktop PC

yep but it's not an usual ide drive, not laptop ide...it's something with 27 (13+14) pins

 

[kimsland]

Hmm

Unless that's just the laptop connector that you need to pull off (without bending the pins)

You might want to take a small photo of it (edited and cropped to make it small in kilobytes) and then upload here (or somewhere, with a link to here)

She's a beaut !!

I'd say don't touch it, it looks like it would be worth a lot (antique value)

Not sure, to back up this scssi drive. Maybe floppy again

 

[kimsland]

Well $200 US anyway:

holy ****...i wouldn't pay anything for it

I could sell it but first i have to get all the stuff from the hdd, it's "customers" computer...he gave it to me and said that i can keep it but he needs the stuff from the hdd :/ he had backup copies on fdd:s but the don't work anymore so i have to make new backups

 

[kimsland]

Print the documents out (if you can find an old printer that works with it
Then scan them to a file

Done

You're very lucky to have it
What Windows version is it? Here's hoping 3.1
Actually is it Windows?

 

[DjKraid]

MS Dos 3.3 i think... i told my customer that there was nothing i could do so now i'm going to try to sell it, need money for my drivers licens...I have been driving for over 7 years now but without licens...but I wet to driving school last ear but I haven't had enough money to pay for it yeat :/ (1600€)

If You know anyone who would be intrested or something please tell me

...I have been driving for over 7 years now but without licens...

Here's how the law works (now I know you know, but this will make it clear for you)

If you are in an accident, you (and anyone else, ie passengers), are not covered by the personal injury (or death) caused by you. Therefore if you (or your passengers) become a paraplegic or loss of limb, or worse, then you will need to payout, say up to 1million dollars to lets say the passenger. If you don't have the million dollars, then you'll be charged (for murder if a passenger dies) and go to prison for about 20years.

Now you probably know that (a little) but here's the real scary part.
If someone smashes into you, they can argue that you were not suppose to be there in the first place, and therefore any damage to the cars (or buildings; power poles you name it) is your fault. And, any personal damage (loss of life etc etc) is also your fault. Again putting you in prison.

So now your at fault even if it's not your fault!

So if we weigh it up: Not your fault= 20years in prison= Not worth it

At all costs. And just in case, you missed the point. At ALL costs, make sure that you have a licence before driving on the road, your life may depend on it.

Oh and try eBay for that computer thingy

 

[DjKraid]

yes i know the law but here it's 6 months to 2 years max for driving and krashing into someone else

 

[kimsland]

No, its 20years
I'm talking about loss of life or things like that

 

[DjKraid]

yep but i live in finland and the law is different here

Is the T3200 for sale or do you know where I can get one?

I have a T3200 with a bad hard drive which I use here at work to control an old MOS AID memory tester. I just pulled the system out of moth balls and the hard drive has seized up. I had Windows version 1.04 on this antique. I need to test some parts and would like to get a working unit. Can anyone sell a working unit to my company or call me to negociate some way to use the PC. Allen Bishop, Office number 719-594-8101

Hello Allen. I have T3200 but not sure if HDD is working. Computer powers up and "BIOS" sees the HDD (40MB) but when it boots error comes up "Error encountered initializing hard drive”. If you still interested please email me: arkadiusz.kopczyk(at)gmail.com
