During the summer of 1999 my friends and I all purchased the coolest laptop in the world, the lovely Fujitsu B142 Lifebook.
I got many years of great use out of that tiny laptop until I had to upgrade to a bigger, faster machine.
I am trying to restore my old B142 Lifebook for nostalgia reasons and ran into two snags.
I am missing the PCMCIA adaptor card that connects the optional external CD-ROM drive (UJDB120). I have the CD-ROM drive itself, and a cable that connects the CD-ROM to the edge of a PCMCIA card, but I have somehow misplaced the PCMCIA card adaptor itself..
Is it possible to buy a new one or even a refurbished one as a replacement? The machine will boot from Hard Drive, or Floppy, or Floppy assisted PCMCIA mounted CD (it cannot boot from USB as it is an old firmware). My goal is to be able to re-image the box from the recovery CD.
The second issue is that the blue/grey bottom plastic shell that holds the laptop battery in place has broken, and the very thin strip across the bottom front of the laptop is gone (I can operate the machine while it is on a desk, but moving it around or placing it on a lap no longer works as the battery is prone to fall out now). It would be nice to replace the case if you have just the case available as a part.
I actually have two batteries that work and two port replicators, I only need one of each. I am offering a trade or to straight up buy replacement parts.
