    Hi can anyone help me... I am trying to find out any information on an old Sanyo notebook the MBC-18NB. Can anyone tell me if there is a rorum anywhere that deals with old machines, or can anyone tell me anything about this machine.

    I can't find any reference to that...sorry. I'm sure it wasn't sold in the US though. What are you trying to figure out?

    Hi Brian,

    Well I would like to know when it was made for a start, as you may be able to tell I do not have much knowledge about the technical side.
    I use a Sony fx-505 notebook, a friend of mine gave me this Sanyo machine. It looks quite old but when I type a search with the model number all I can find is references for battery's.

    All it say's on the front is Sanyo 18nb... there is no operating system on it but it all boots up ok. I am just trying to figure out what I can do with it.

    Thanks for your time.....

    I'd suggest trying to get a Linux version installed and use it for web browsing...assuming it has an ethernet port [8D]
