I kept them, but would now love to get them working. Does anyone know if the plasma screen is available anywhere for purchase?

Sorry I missed your comment! You were a very lucky kid! The only hand me downs I got from my dad were much older computers. The IBM P75 is amazing – the first portable 486 computer and pretty capable, though you are right by 1995 laptops had pretty much kicked it’s butt. I still use mine though as my main 486 computer for retro gaming hooked up to an external CRT 🙂

Yeah it’s also my dream to hook up the monitor to a modern output, but I’m not skilled enough in the electronics department to make a VGA input to the screen. One day…

Wish I could use one of the 640×480 plasma displays for my office work… is that even possible with HDMI to VGA to 14-pin adapter? No one knows…
