If you are looking for a portable MS-DOS machine then you should consider
the HP 110. It is the size of a 3 ring binder but contains as much computing
power as the average desktop computer. Some features:
80C86 processor that runs at 5.33 Mhz
280 Kbytes Cmos static Ram ( retains data while it is off)
392 Kbytes Cmos Rom
LCD with 16 X 80 alpha mode or 480 X 128 bit mapped graphics
300 baud auto ansr auto dial modem
RS-232 serial port
HP-IL interface to disc drives,printers,IBM pc's etc
Battery powered ( 16 hours continous running on a full charge)
Real time Clock/Calendar with alarms
Software included with the unit :
MS-DOS Ver 2.11*
Lotus 1-2-3* (full implementation including on line help)
Memomaker ( a simple word processing program)
Terminal emulation with upload/download and modem7 capability
Personal applications manager
Price is $2995 which makes it one of the lowest cost machines capable of
running Lotus 1-2-3 * on the market today. There is also a set of battery
powered peripherals such as a 3 1/2 DS-DD disc and a Thinkjet printer that
go quite nicely with it. To find a local dealer you can call 1-800-FOR-HPPC.

Can anyone provide me with any information on any of the following portable computers : Visual Commuter Morrow Pivot ACT Apricot Executive Any other portable that is briefcased sized or smaller, has an LCD display 16*80 or larger, and comes with a disk drive and a printer port. What I'm curious about is : How portable are they? (Will they run on batteries) How compatible are they? (IBM PC compatible would be nice, but if they come bundled with a wordproccessor) How much do they cost? Is there anyone in Northern NJ who sells them? Thanks, -- Mike Gleicher :-) ATT Bell Laboratories :-) I'll bet you were Murray Hill, NJ :-) expecting a profound (home:(201)379-1712) :-) quote here ! (work: on occasion) :-)
