It took a few years, but I finally found one! This was the only "laptop" model of the FM TOWNS that Fujitsu ever made, and it was only available to schools. The CD-ROM doesn't appear to work, the screen is dodgy, and it almost definitely needs to be recapped, but it even mostly appears to work besides that.
(for more teardown and repair pics, the current end of the thread is here)
idk if he could help but I know @cathoderaydude has some articles on his site going over FM Towns' OS.
oh nice, i didn't know he covered the FM TOWNS, i'll have to check his posts out
For as system with as strong a design aesthetic as the FM Towns was, this laptop feels almost... conventional?
Still, it's super awesome that you found one that's (probably) fixable!
yeah, now that you mention it, it would look a lot cooler in the old dark grey and green design language, wouldn't it
