One or two is all we need. Please respond via email. > > Thanks, > Phil Paone Phil: In my opinion the Toshiba line of '386 and '386sx protables are the best bet for you. I have used all of them and recommend them most highly. The T3200sx runs at 16mhz and has one 8bit and one 16bit slot. The T5100 also runs at 16mhz and has a normal 386. The only difference here in looks is that it has no numeric keypad. If cost is not important and you want the best protable I would highly recommend that you purchase the T5200 which can be equiped with 4 megs., 100 meg. hard drive, the best VGA plasma on the market and two slots open for just 4999.00. I hope this will be of use to you. By the way- take a look at a company called olivetti. They are producing toshiba clones with the same or almost the same quality for slightly less money. But Toshiba offers a five year full parts and maintenance plan with the T5200 which makes it a much more attractive machine. It also comes with many utilities and MS Windows '386.
