  In the BYTE Magazine, November issue, p. 49 there is a short notice
  of a new Mac-compatible Laptop called Wallaby that includes a paper-
  white 640-by-400 backlit LCD screen, an optional 20-meg hard drive,
  nonvolatile RAM-disk and other goodies in less than 10 pounds of weight,
  for less than US$ 3000.-

    A Wallaby isn't a Mac-clone;  it requires the use of ROMs from a
  Plus or SE in order to function;  the "lobotomized" main unit is
  still usable as long as the Wallaby-with-the-ROMS stays connected to it.  

    Has anybody on the net seen/ used/ bought it yet?
