I bought a Goldstar GS620 386sx/20 notebook on my way through
Singapore in 1991. It lasted until 1997 and travelled over 200 000 km.
By that time the hard drive had died and the LCD backlight went with
it. Since this was my first PC and for a while my only computer, I
even continued to use it with external monitor and drive until I
upgraded to a desktop. As it happens, after all of these years I
rediscovered this little machine in the abyss of my garage and much to
my amazement, it still works! So in fairness to it, I'd like to fix it
and would like any assistance in opening it up, which I can't seem to
do. A service manual would be nice.

I found another Zenith for sale and I would like to have four of these connected to each other, working as a single machine. I found sufficient Linux software to do that, but I really need at least one machine with that 2 MB card in it. I found an
So please, if you still have that little laptop, tell me if you're willing to sell it for very good use :)
