Netreaders might be interested in what goes into the IBM PS/55 note
which is on sale in Japan.  Incidentally the computer is identical to
the Ricoh 5523S>  Can we draw some conclusions as to who builds what
for whom?

Anyway,

386sx 12MHz
2MB standard, +6MB possible
1 1.44MB drive OR 1 1.44MB FD and 40MB HDD
232C serial port, printer port, mouse port
Expansion slot to take mamory expansion, modem9.5" VGA 
16-gray scale, 640 X 480 CFL backlighted screen
297mm X 210mm X 51.5mm
2.4kg/2.5kg
Price w/o DOS (Ricoh) Y232K/Y352K.

(+3% VAT in Japan)c


(That's about $2600 for the 40MB version.  Now, if you can find
a discount of about 23%, that's $2K.)
