I am *VERY* interested in buying a Toshiba T1000. I need a light, small, cheap computer mostly for dumb text entry. Battery charge length most be at least 4 hours and the Toshiba seems to be great for this. I need to know three things though: 1) Can the DOS in ROM be upgraded from 2.11? 2) What options do I have for a RAMdisk to keep MicroEmacs, etc... in. 3) Where can I find one for cheap via mail-order? (i.e. a camera house in New York would be good...) Also, anyone know of a cheap 1200/2400 baud modem I can throw in this thing? If I have to lug an external around when needed I will do so. I *AM NOT* paying the $300 some odd bucks for a 1200 baud modem!
