Hello All -

     I find myself in need of a luggable or semi-portable CP/M system.
After looking through a bunch of ads in various magazines, it seems
the ENTIRE world has pulled the insides out of their old CP/M boxes
and substituted 8088-based electronics instead.  Nothing against
8088-based stuff; I've got software which is not available for that
series of processor.

     I would appreciate receiving pointers to firms which carry CP/M
(Z80-based, please) integrated systems (something slightly smaller
than the old Kaypro 2).  Requirements are:

	o Display built in.  (80 x 24 on a 4" to 5" display is okay.)
	o Serial port is a MUST (need to wire a modem to this thing).
	o Sufficient documentation to port some specialized com-
	  munications software into it (need hardware docs, schematics
	  would be a real plus).
	o Battery-powered units not necessary - commercial power is
	  available for this thing.
	o 5.25" or 3.5" disk drives are a must.

     Your comments/pointers are appreciated.
