Welcome to the forum @igseries88 . Where are you located? If you're on the east coast of the US, I would be interested, on behalf of VCF.

If you’d rather give it to ajacocks since first come first serve, I totally get that and that’s completely fine. I’ve been super interested in getting one of these for a while now though, I’d give some money for it. Let me know if things don’t work out with aja.I found this thread from google. I have an Ascentia 950N including the User's manual.
It boots to the error "No available extended memory was found. XMS driver not installed." and drops you into a DOS prompt.
The machine belonged to one of my grandparents but looking around the files it looks like they never made any user files so maybe never really used it.
I was going to recycle the machine, I'm not sure why Ive kept it this long. I was surprised to find a recent forum thread about this exact machine. Is there somewhere I can donate it if people still want these older machines?
Edit: I don't know how to tell if it has a TFT screen or not.
Thank you! I am located in Boise, Idaho.Welcome to the forum @igseries88 . Where are you located? If you're on the east coast of the US, I would be interested, on behalf of VCF.

Will do! It is cool to think the machine would end up in a museum so I am partial to that but I will let you know.If you’d rather give it to ajacocks since first come first serve, I totally get that and that’s completely fine.

Totally cool, I get that completely. Still interested if things don’t work out for whatever reason.
On the screen - that’s a tougher one than most. It’s either TFT/Active or a really nice DSTN/Passive panel but I’m leaning TFT.
Whatever does end up happening, @ajacocks - if you take it, please get that internal NiMH battery out! It will kill the laptop eventually if left in there.
