If this is what you want, you may want to consider one of the other
hand held machines out there.  The MS-DOS compatible machines such as
the Atari Portfolio, Poquet PC, and HP-95LX are only a small part of
the handheld market.  My own handheld is the Psion Organiser II XP.
It's language resembles a structured BASIC, but really it's not all
that bad.  It has two slots which can hold a combination of EPROM,
Flash EPROM, ROM, or RAM, up to 256KB each.

What kind of features are you looking for in a handheld?  What
specifications: Display size, memory, keyboard, case configuration
(clamshell, slab), interfaces.
