I need to get a laptop with a fairly strange set of requirements -
Something with a 486 and lots of ram (not too hard) but it has to have
a 3/4th length expansion slot (8 bit is fine, tho I won't complain
about ISA) - The only thing I can find are the breadbox sized units,
and the Toshiba 6400 - both are line cord dependent and something that
had batteries would be real convienent (I am not expecting great
amounts of battery life, I just want to unplug it for a few min while
moving it from place to place without needing to wait for it to save
my state and retreive it.)  Something with a built in ethernet and a
price tag less than $3k would have me jumping for joy... something
that weighs less than 7 Kg (15 Lbs) would keep me from adding a back
injury to my hand injuries.  (I currently have the board in question
in a 12kg breadbox, and it is a real trial to move around)

Why? I need a home for my DragonDictate card - this is my "keyboard",
I am one of the typing injured - I have to be able to drag it around
with me, it needs 12mb (8 for the speech system, 4 for DESQveiw/X) an
ethernet, MS-DOS - It doesn't need Windoze, color, more than about
80mb of disk or better than standard VGA resolution. It does need an
international compatible power supply, two com ports (one for the
keyboard cable driver box, and one for a modem...) and a parallel port
(that can be used with one of those ethernet lumps, since I don't
expect to find a machine with ether built in)

Respond by email, I will summarize if interest is indicated. If I
don't hear of anything battery powered, I will buy the toshiba
($$ouch$$ but it is 5kg) in a few days (I have been quoted $5k with the memory
expansion and the ether adapter)

I urge everyone to grab the FAQ from sci.med.occupational - typing
injuries can happen to you if you aren't careful - it is far better to
prevent it, as I am an example that shows that you can't always cure
it once it happens.
