The Toshiba 1000SE is easily as good as the reviews in BYTE and PC 
MAG.  Another step beyond the 1200s in nice little features.  
Great display.  AutoResume is wonderful.  MSDOS 3.3 is in ROM as a 
220k "drive C:" and it will save a CONFIG.SYS file in special RAM 
(same as for the Clock).  There is a 100-pin connector for an 
expansion bus; surely a decent portable-and-fast accessory hard 
disk will evolve. 
      Comes with 1Meg RAM, 384k of which is available for RAM 
disk, etc.  The 1MB memory card lists for $699 ($439 through the 
educational discount program) and the 2MB version for $1199 ($749 
educ.); extra battery pack $79.  2400baud internal modem to be 
announced by third-party vendor?  The list price of $1699 drops to 
about $999 on the educational discount, but that discount may be 
going up, be applicable only to early dealer orders. 
      The University Book Store in Seattle has been selling them 
like hotcakes.
