I am looking in to buying a laptop computer.  I don't want anything fancy,
80286 would be nice but not necessary.  My basic requirements would be

	640K base memory
	2 floppy drives, 720K ok but would prefer 1.44MB
	1 serial port
	1 parallel port
	Screen should be able to 'emulate' CGA, at least.
	Able to run off 12 volts, like from a car.

I am looking to spend as little as possible.  The main use would be during
travel, for word processing/database work and communications.  I am looking
at things like Toshiba, Zenith, etc....   Anyone have any preferences?  Where
should I be looking to buy?  Have I missed anything in the way of features?


								Jon
