Although I don't know anyway to detect an LCD screen, you can probably detect a laptop. I've never programmed anything for a laptop, but the "computer's signature byte" is at $FFFF:$FFFE. $FF - $F8 are desktops. Compaq uses it's own system, $9A is a Compaq Plus. Hope this helps. -alan mead : amead@s.psych.uiuc.edu
