I think you mean the HP95LX... I've thought about it some; running NOS on it should be no big deal, if you've got the 512K expansion to allow a 512K RAM disk and 512K of main memory. I wouldn't expect to use it for much more than telnet and SMTP outgoing mail, though; while a complete NOS setup will fit into a 512K disk, there won't be much room left over. You'd have to run it in -b (BIOS video) mode. Finally, you'd find yourself scrolling the physical 16x40 screen over the logical 24x80 physical screen a bit. Personally, I'd like to try it...get it, a PacComm Handi-Packet (which has a belt clip) and an IC2SAT, and you'd have a packet station smaller than the average TNC. One of these days, if I get a spare kilobuck... ...Jay
