EDIT this has been claimed, but I'm leaving the post up if you just want to look at a neat computer.

Hey fedi, is anyone here interested in this VTech IQ Unlimited Advantech computer? I was going to list it on eBay but they aren't worth a whole lot, so unless someone on fedi really wants this thing I'd probably just keep it. But it's just been sitting in storage so if I could hook someone up with it that really wants this specific computer it'd be cool. I'd sell it for $30 plus whatever it costs to ship it to you.

I got it a few years ago and didn't end up doing much with it, but I can confirm it was fully working in 2020. I powered it up for this photo this week but it would only give me the "please replace battery" message because I did not have any C batteries to put in it and it unfortunately won't operate off of just the DC power supply. Interestingly it takes four C batteries and four AA batteries, and encourages you to only change one set at a time to avoid data loss. An interesting solution, but one that makes testing it further annoying since I don't keep C batteries on hand. There's a little rust on the battery contacts but not a bunch of corrosion so they're pretty solid.

If you're not familiar with this PC (and I can't say I am an expert as someone who vaguely played with it for a bit), don't let the VTech brand fool you. While it does come preloaded with some educational software, as well as stuff like a word processor, this is a proper computer that you can write basic on.
