It seems that this same device is available from TI as their 'Notebook', as the Sharp 6220, and as the CompuAdd Companion. These are the three sources I've found so far. Apparently TI manufactures them to the vendors specifications. Now whether the vendors have different specifications is something I haven't been able to determine. CompuAdd seems to have the most favorable pricing. They want $2895, and claim they can ship in four days. The New York discount houses would not give prices for the Sharp saying it was 'too new'. That may have changed in the last week, however. I called TI two weeks ago and they said they would send info, but nothing has arrived. If I had to buy one today, I think I would call CompuAdd. Unless, of course, I found a TI dealer who was willing to really deal. Jeff Kantor Notre Dame
