I'm new to this site and really glad I found this one as it seems very helpful especially to a not computer expert like me.
I bought an ibm t21 (2647-4AU) Pentium III, 800mhz, Wifi card, 256mb, DVDrom in ebay but it has no operating system, no hard drive, no ac adapter and no restore disk or any disk included.
I'm hoping that Mr. RBS could also help me with the restore disk or any necessary disk to make this laptop work. I'm also wondering and confused of what ac adapter should I purchase. In the back of the laptop it printed: 16V = 3.36A and the Li-Ion Battery (L18650-6TPT) is 10.8 volts 3600 mAH.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank You so much!

Re: Recovery Disk for T21 Type 2647-4AU
You can use the 16V/56W or 16V/72W (recommended) AC-adapter, available in abundance on eBay (make sure you get an original one), or in our Marketplace Forum.
You can/should get 2x256MB SDRAM PC100 low-density (16 chips per module, 8 on each side) SODIMMs.
512MB is the max. for that machine.
Any PATA/IDE/ATA hard disk in 2.5" format will work (but NOT a SATA hard disk!).
My T23 restore disks will also work on a T21, after you download/install the proper graphics and ethernet drivers.
PM me if interested.
