Keywords: LAPTOP MSDOS PORTABLE Message-ID: Date: 25 Feb 91 19:07:34 GMT Followup-To: comp.sys.laptops Distribution: usa Organization: Rutgers University Lines: 31 I'm in the market for a laptop and need some help finding one to fit my specs. I have very simple requirements. See specs below: > Under 8 pounds > CGA screen > 1 or 2 3.5" 1.44MB floppies > Slimline design > Backlight nice but not crucial > Runs MS-DOS (from ROM would be nice) > Well supported by manufacturer I've seen a few systems like this but (ie Sharp MZ2000) I'm not sure of the support from the manufacturers when things break. If anyone has something like this and can comment I would appreciate it. One more thing, I would like to get a system that can have the Hard Disk upgraded. If it takes an IDE drive then I can save some money since I have one sitting around. Any help is appreciated. Thanx. srm -- Scott R.
