    There arent different variations of VGA, but there are completely different connections used occasionally, more common in the 70’s and 80’s though. I would look into finding other connection variations though it may not do much good for that era laptop.

    i had a Compaq Contura 3/25.

    intel 386 SX 25MHz (no Coprocessor)
    2MB or 4MB RAM (expandable by special modules)
    42MB or 80MB 2.5″ IDE HDD

    getting into the BIOS: press F10 when that cursor’s blinking after the RAM counts up.

    takes any 2.5″ IDE laptop HDDs up to 527MB (anything bigger will crash the bios or gets cut off)

    Windows 3.1(1) actually runs OK on it..
    Win95? no way.. too slow
    i had DOS 6.22 with Norton Commander running on it.. easier to use (than 3.1) as there’s no built-in mouse..

    Windows 3.1(1) FTW
