rather than spend lots of money on a DOS laptop, if you only
want to "tap text" then pick up one of the Radio Shack "notebooks"
We have the model 300, i believe it is, and it works pretty good.
and it only cost 250 or 300. it has a built in comm program to upload/
download files into Microphone or whatever Mac comm program you
may want to use. The only problem is that it'll need a custom cable
made to connect to your Mac.
  Of course, if you want to kill some brain cells learning messy-dos,
than go right and buy a DOS laptop.
