It turned out that Toshiba components fit 90% of the Elektronika case but required minor modifications. The author did not dare to see the case and sold the “Electronics” to the museum, and Toshiba T1100Plus was successfully restored. Working with T1100Plus even aroused in the author the desire to restore the entire line of Toshiba computers of those years: T1200, T1600, T3200, T5100.
As a result, he also decided to buy the T1200: “After the successful repair of the T1100Plus, I bought the T1200, which was the top model of the series at that time, it had a built-in hard disk, the RAM was expanded to 1024 KB and the coolest blue screen backlight.”
For autonomous operation, the author installed 4 18 650 elements “according to the 2s2p circuit (two in series, two in parallel) and the corresponding 2s bms board” and, according to him, it worked out well – the device works on these batteries for several hours.
