Description In a computer cooling systems maintenance room on Site B, this laptop was found connected to a coolant tank for diagnostics, having been left by an employee during the evacuation.

NEW BOOT SEQUENCE! Easier to see now.

Boot sequence can be seen here:

I programmed in a custom startup screen displaying InGEN's logo and painted a decal on the top (and believe me it was a pain to paint lines that clean). I did have to edit in the screenshot from another picture i took of it since the camera didn't want to pick up the text at that angle.

It occurred to me that Jurassic Park was the most technologically advanced park in its day; therefore its employees would have access to superior equipment. It makes sense that they would have some laptops for park personnel even though they weren't mentioned in the book or the movies. So when i saw this at a local flea market i decided to make it into an InGEN laptop. This computer is a Toshiba T1200 which was in production from 1987 therefore it would be appropriate for use in either the book or movie time lines. It was considered a very advanced laptop for its time and has 1 MB RAM, 20 MB hard drive, and a 3.5" floppy drive. It was the first laptop to offer an optional back lit LCD screen and swappable rechargeable batteries.

Looks like it turned out great.
Wow, I remember when my home computer first broke 1MB of RAM.
It doesn't seem like the first book/movie is over 20 years old already.

so whats the battery life like and the OS? (cant tell form the video, actually cant really see the screen at all...)

I-am-Draycos In reply to cloneddragon [2010-12-14 20:59:33 +0000 UTC]

well the original battery doesn't hold a charge anymore and the OS is DOS 3.3 (yeah the screen doesn't seem to be very photogenic but it shows up nicely in person)

cloneddragon In reply to I-am-Draycos [2010-12-15 04:58:25 +0000 UTC]

well sucks that the battery doesn't work (a lot of those old laptops had some amassing battery life!)

well DOS 3.3 is a little more archaic than i was expecting... (looks like i cant get Crysis to run on it)

I-am-Draycos In reply to dragonkiller38 [2010-12-14 14:49:40 +0000 UTC]

nope, no internet as we know it. It can create a network with other DOS computers but that really doesn't matter anymore
