Here we go, you want it you got it.

The following blurb appeared in the March issue of Amiga Computing, a
European magazine:

PORTABLE AMIGA SOON:
	Gigatron, the German manufacturer of Amiga expansions, is to launch
a portable Amiga at the Hanover Fair.  This uses a redesigned motherboard
and wither a gas plasma or 16 grey scale LCD display.  The gas plasma unit
costs L2,500 and LCD version L1,700.
	Options include up to 2 meg ram and on the mother unit and one of
the new generation of 23ms 2.5 in. hard discs with 20, 40, or 100 meg
capacity.  All machines have slots for standard Amiga 2000 peripherals.
	Commodore has not been involved with the development of the system,
but is aware of the unit.  The machine is expected to go on sale sometime
between April and July.
	Gigatron has a number of other new products in the wings, including
an Aiga with a 68020 on the motherboard which expands the normal Amiga ram
limit from nine meg to 3.6 gigabytes. For more details of UK availability
contact Jerry Howells at Fast Forward Marketing on 021 333 3563.

BTW, the exchange rate is about 1 U.S. dollar = 1.6 British pounds.
