I have recently purchased a Toshiba T1200, with has 1 3.5 floppy 
and a 20 meg hard disk.  Runs off the builtin battery for 2-3
hours at a time, but I use the (provided) AC adapter at home.
Like having a UPS.  For about the same about as a Mac SE HD you
get a true portable PC, 80C86 running a 9.54 Mhz (room for a 8087).
The manuals from Toshiba for the T1200 and MSDOS 3.2 are very good.
You can get a internal 1200 baud modem too.

Its a nice unit.  Hope my feedback helps your decision.
