Does anybody know the manufacturer of the laptop I see in Computer Shopper?
It's an OEM box, re-marketed by at least six different companies (Blue-Star
and Tri-Star come to mind).

It's a '286 or '386sx, vga/32, 1-5meg, 20M hdd, 1.44M fdd, and looks a LOT
like the Toshiba 2000.  It has five little holes (for LEDs I assume) between
the display and the keyboard.  The Toshiba 2000 has nine similar holes as I
recall, and a very similar keyboard with a very short (about 1/2 normal)
spacebar.

The advertised price for the '286 is usually ~$1600, and the '386sx ~$2k.

Is it a Toshiba?  Does anybody out there have one?
