We have an NEC Versa for demos, and it works fine. 486-33, 8/230, 2xPCMCIA slots. 256 colour active matrix. Not quite the speed you are after, but it is pretty good in other respects. One feature I like is you can have an external monitor attached, and switch between LCD screen only, LCD + external and external only with key presses. Lets you do all the ugly setup stuff, then switch to the external to show off, and switch back when you are finished. Another tricky thing is that the whole screen simply unclips and can be put on backwards, so you can have the screen facing away from the keyboard. Nice for presentations which only require mouse interaction. (Also means it is cheaper and quicker to replace a damaged screen). -- Stephen Rogan s.rogan@uow.edu.au Centre for Information Technology Research University of Wollongong NSW Australia
