We are looking for a laptop to replace the NEC Multispeeds, which
are big and slow.  These machines will be used in rainforest survey
conditions, so we are particularly looking for a display that is
readable in both low and high light situations.  The Multispeeds
are not great in low light, and the Toshiba T1000(?) I used the
other day wasnt very good in bright light.  Anyone have any 
recommendations?  Our other requirements are:

386 or 286 if necessary.

Lighter/Smaller than a the Multispeed (what isnt?)

Internal HD (not ram cuz it will be xrayed in customs)

A serial port

We don't really need a numeric keypad or even an internal floppy disk.



Thanks for you patience.
