One or two is all we need. Please respond via email. Try the NEC's 386 and Toshiba's 5X00 machines. Also Compaq has a luggable 386 which has expansion slots.

Other lunch pail types with multiple slots are Dolch and PC Brand. The Dolch has been a regular PC Mag Editor's Choice. We have a 386/25 and it's really nice. Expensive though (>$10K). You can get an expansion chassis that brings then number of free slots up to 6. More than a DeskPro. The base system has 2 long and one short free. I think all are 16 bit. I was under the impression the NEC portables had proprietary slots. I'm in the market for a clamshell type 386 with one slot. The only one I've found is the Toshiba. Unfortunately, I can't buy one with government money because of the unfortunate submarine prop incident. -- Marshall L.

Not the Powermate Portable SX, anyway ... it has three AT-bus slots.
My brother has one of these, and is using one for a Hayes modem and another
for an ArcNet card, and has had no problems with them.

The base system has >2 long and one short free. I think all are 16 bit. We have a "lunch pail" type system which is available on 286, 386SX, and 386DX (20Mhz) sizes... It has near-normal expansion capability (believe it or not!), and uses a rather interesting board-mounting system. It's a very unique system; available with either Plasma and LCD displays. These aren't as cheap as a standard cabinet, but they are >much< less expensive than the comparable Compaq system. Somewhere in the $3k range I do believe, depending on the display option you want.

One or two is all we need. Please respond via email. > > Thanks, > Phil Paone Phil: In my opinion the Toshiba line of '386 and '386sx protables are the best bet for you. I have used all of them and recommend them most highly. The T3200sx runs at 16mhz and has one 8bit and one 16bit slot. The T5100 also runs at 16mhz and has a normal 386. The only difference here in looks is that it has no numeric keypad. If cost is not important and you want the best protable I would highly recommend that you purchase the T5200 which can be equiped with 4 megs., 100 meg. hard drive, the best VGA plasma on the market and two slots open for just 4999.00. I hope this will be of use to you. By the way- take a look at a company called olivetti. They are producing toshiba clones with the same or almost the same quality for slightly less money. But Toshiba offers a five year full parts and maintenance plan with the T5200 which makes it a much more attractive machine. It also comes with many utilities and MS Windows '386. Happy shopping... -Chris
