[net.micro.cpm] Bondwell laptops

norman@h-sc4.harvard.edu (John Norman) (08/15/86)

I have read a fair amount recently about the new Bondwell MSDOS laptop, but
what about the CP/M *laptop*?  What is the list price?  Is it available
more cheaply through discounters?  This computer is apparently different
from the Bondwell which looks like a Kaypro-

For that matter, are there other manufacturers who make CP/M laptops?

Epson's PX-8 is a CP/M laptop.  There are a few stores that still sell
them...in fact, Epson supports them fairly well.  They go up to ~32K I
believe, and come with a word-processor (ski-writer).  3.5" drives
are amoung the accessories available.

   I believe that the NEC Starlet and Epson Geneva are CP/M laptops.

I believe Bondwell is the only company that makes a REAL CP/M laptop. By
real I mean 80x25 screen, 64k memory, two internal disk drives, serial
and printer ports. I think you can get them for about $799 these days.
