Question for any hardware hackers out there.

Remember those cute little portable XT's that Laser made (makes?)?
One of the surplus outlets, comb or someone, sent me a catalog the
other day that had them for $199.  Not bad for a dual speed XT, with
a single floppy and basically everything else.

Except a display.  I believe the thing had a cga type display card 
built in, but I'm not sure.  What I'd like to find out is whether 
there is any way to get hold of the medium resolution LCD displays
and hack one onto this thing.  Lacking that, something other than
a full size monitor.  I'd like the combination to be somewhere 
around a laptop in portability.  I have no need for computing while
driving, but it would be handy to have one to take on trips to 
the non-computerized world.

OF course, XT style laptops are around $500, so it isn't worth 
sinking much $$$ to avoid buying one.  If anyone has ideas on adding
a medium-res display (ega-type) for around $100, it might get
real interesting.

If anyone has experience with one of these things, email me a note 
with what you think of it.

Cheers,
Bob
