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...
