Greetings,

  A friend of mine is getting ready to buy a Portable, but he is wondering:

  o Is there a possiblity of a 68030-based Portable coming out anytime in the
next few months (I realize that this depends on Motorola's coming out with a
CMOS chip, but I don't know what kind of progress they're making).

  o  Is there any way to get a Portable to drive a full-page (or two-page)
display?  3rd party stuff is okay...  Has anybody used the SCSI color adapter
with it?

  o  How about the portable (Wallaby?) that uses the ROMs from your Mac, and
then plugs into it to give it its ROM back?  How much?  Would it work with an
SE/30?  What's the battery life like?

Many thanks for any help/advice anyone can give.  Email's fine, and I'll
summarize, or post it.  Whatever.

--Mike
