NEC MobilePro 750C Rom 3.0 Upgrade

So I received my  NEC MobilePro 750C Rom 3.0 Upgrade which I got off ebay for $12.00 . It was pretty straight forward and all I had to do was open the port cover with the provided screw driver and pop in the chip and that's it. Turned it on and the OS was updated to 3.0 . I do notice a huge difference in speed. Next I have on order a new ram memory chip the unit has 16 and I got a 32 to put in.  From the pictures you can see that this was a brand new out of the box install.

Reading commodork and remembering times that past

So I picked up this book on kindle called Commodork: Sordid Tales From A Bbs Junkie  by Rob O'Hara (Author) and it really started bring back alot of memories of when I got my first computer. It was a Commodore vic-20 , I loved this machine. So when I was growing up we didn't have alot of money. So not knowing it then, but finding out later my mom spent almost a whole paycheck do get me this computer. I still remember that Christmas opening it up. It was so amazing. I also got a couple games at the time one was a Scot Adams adventure game. Man I loved those, I also remember at the time cassette recorders for a computer were pretty expensive. So everyday i would type in a basic game from one of the magizines I had just to play it. They were some fun times. This book is def one to check out.

So in the mail today I received my 32mb upgrade ram for my NEC MobilePro 750C. This was very simple to install and worked right away. Taking me from 16mg to 32mg. Next I received a Panasonic 8x pcmcia from drive. This thing is cool. I always wanted one but they were way to high in price back then. I got this for really, really cheap. One thing about this unit is that it runs on AA batteries or the included wallwort or you can get a rechargeable battery pack. Another awesome feature is that it has it's own speakers in stereo which is nice. I placed in a audio CD and it played just fine. I then tried to use it on my MobilePro but the included drivers do not support windows ce. It does support DOS so I might play around in DOS on the machine and see if I can get it working. If so I'll post a howto later on. This is def what I expected and work fine. I might have to look out for a old cheap or free windows 95 laptop with pcmcia to try on that. Pretty awesome t
