Looking for an any-old-thing Windows (11) laptop to program the speed controller in my mobility scooter.

The ancient Lenovo R60 has croaked. I guess it doesn't matter what Windows OS the prospective laptop has, XP on the R60 did just fine for this task. No need to connect to internet. Has to be Windows to run the speed controller programming app, Linuks/Ubintu etc won't do.

Anyone around Sydney or preferably #bluemountains have anything cheap (and working!) to sell?

When I retired I brought a few old C-series and D-series notebooks home with me, and they're still in service. So never look online for them, only needing to buy/update my Precision workstations. Just to say there's two reasonable on eBay just now... filter aus/buy now/used...

@weezmgk I have a very legacy XP laptop, yours for the cost of shipping

@davedave if it has a charger, that sounds ideal. Shipping is about $30 (and your time). I'm in the Blue Mountains, which isn't actually in Sydney. It's a pretty inconvenient detour, 2-3 hours round trip from CBD area. Can paypal or direct bank transfer with your acct & bsb. $50-100 do ya?
