Summary: Looking for a portable or laptop


We've been looking for a portable or a laptop here at work.
Our requirements are as follows:

    A hard disk (20 meg.)
    Either a 5 1/4" disk drive or a cable link to a desktop
    An internal modem (preferably 2400 baud)
    640K minimum of memory (preferably expandable to 2 meg at least)
    RGB video port
    Serial/parallel ports
    "Good" screen (ambiguous enough for you?)
    80286 processor (80386 if we can afford it)

We've looked at the Compaq Portable III and the Toshiba T1100 and the
Toshiba 3100 and the NEC Multispeed HD.  Recently we found an article
in INFO WORLD advertising a "Roadrunner" by Micro Express. They said
they make this machine themselves.  Micro Express is advertising a 
"Roadrunner 386" with 2 meg of memory, 1.2 meg floppy drive, serial/
parallel ports, 42 meg hard drive, and a Super-twist LCD display.
   
Oh, our optimum price range is $3K.  Of course if we have to go up
or down a little bit we could probably arrange it (with some heavy
talking!).  

Has anyone out there heard of this company?  Anyone out there LOVE
their laptop/portable?   PLEEEEEEEEASE, let me hear from you.

Thanks in advance for your considerate and prompt cooperation.

**Rest assured that since no one here listens to me, these questions
are my own!
