[comp.sys.laptops] 386sl pcs - warning!!!

"stephen feldman" <stephen.feldman@canrem.uucp> (06/01/91)

With Zenith now announcing their 386SL based notebook and all the press
surrounding it, I came across a document in a Japanese technical
newspaper that said that the 386SL chip in the Zenith system is
apparently Intel's rev. A of the chip and that it has bugs (exactly
what bugs were not explained) and that a rev. B version (bug free?)
would not be available until late summer '91 or early fall.

According to this article, it said that officials from Compaq and
Toshiba will be with-holding their entry into the 386SL notebook market
until rev. B becomes available.  The article also mentioned that the
rev. A chip is only being delivered in sample quantity and that full
production will not begin until the rev. B chip is completed.

Looking out for your dollar...
