I could find some use for Open Desktop running on my Compaq LTE386sx notebook computer. With 10 Meg cached RAM and a 63 MB hard disk it just might work. What about the Xircom net adapter? I know, this is a stupid idea, but I'd be interested in related trials (sx in general, disk size records...). Hannu Saarenmaa; saarenmaa@cc.helsinki.fi

Well, at best you'd only be able to load a SUBSET of ODT on such a notebook. ODT 1.0, not counting swap and user space, required 9.0 MB for essential runtime, 13.2 MB for the extended utilities (the good stuff), 6.7 MB for networking services, 12.5 MB for windows, 2.4 MB for Merge and 32.0 (!) for Ingress. One can, of course, load subsets of these subsets. Don't know how 1.1 differs (we await our overdue first copy), but I doubt it's any less. What you really need is something with the capacity and functionality of Toshiba's 5200 in a notebook format. It doesn't exist yet, but might by year's end. ----------- uunet!media!ka3ovk!raysnec!shwake shwake@rsxtech
