I am wondering, what is the smallest PC (AT and 386 too) computer that
is on the market. And what are the prices for those. I need this info
because I am helping a friend install a computer in his car, and the
smaller it is, the better!
any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

I need this info ------------ Check out the Nov 1990 issue of Computer Shopper on page 342 is an article on Ampro's Little Board/386. Cost is $1,695. Size:5.75" x 8". In the picture, it looks to be about 2" tall. It contains a 3.5" floppy drive, SCSI interface, up to 4Meg Ram, 2 serial, 1 parallel and a key- board port. Power input is 5V @ 2A.

I seem to remember a recent article in Byte on miniaturized computers, I believe they were the Ampro Single Board Computers. They can in 8088, 80286, and 80386 models. -- Michael Volow, Psychiatry, Durham VA Med Center, Durham NC 27712 919 286 0411 Ext 6933 mvolo@ecsvax.edu

Sorry, the Little Board computers were reviewed in the Shopper, not Byte, my mistake. -- Michael Volow, Psychiatry, Durham VA Med Center, Durham NC 27712 919 286 0411 Ext 6933 mvolo@ecsvax.edu

There are always "notebook" machines from Compaq/NEC/Sharp... BTW, there is a line of machines from a company called "Flytech". There is a CARRY-I which is an 8088 based box, a CARRY-II which is a 286 based box and, I think, there is a CARRY-II which is a 386SX box announced recently. They are really small machines (240mm x 185 mm x 45mm). The keyboard is also fairly compact but is only 82 keys though. There is also an accompanying 9" mono-monitor. I saw the Carry-I and II in the "Computer-fest" show in Toronto just a few weeks ago. They advertised in the "Byte" magazines as well. -- Peter Yeung Amdahl Canada Ltd., Software Development Center 2000 Argentia Road, Plaza 2, Suite 300 Mississauga, Ont.
