Actually, if you just want a portable that has a built in keyboard, a single
floppy drive in the side, 1 meg of ram and a clock, all you need is an
Amiga 500 with a briefcase.  The briefcase should also hold one of those
8 hour batteries that they used to sell for portable (ha!) VCRs, and one
of those 4" b/w Sony Watchmen.  Plug the monochrome video out of the 500
into the video in of the Watchman and get power connecters for the 500 and
the Watchman.  Open the briefcase and set the monitor verticle, and power
everything up and you have a portable Amiga in under 15 pounds (I bet).
