It was a small handheld computer, about 245mm wide, 115mm deep, and 25mm thick when closed. I doubt that it weighed much more than 150gm or so, if that much. It was called a "pocket PC" because it could fit in a large man's overcoat pocket. Nevertheless, one could touch type on the keyboard. It had an 80x25 CGA LCD display which was quite legible in decent light. Two 'AA' cells would power it for several hours of editing use, say, if one wasn't using the AC adapter. It had serial and parallel ports. The interesting thing is that it had MS-DOS 5 in ROM, together with a usable personal organizer application. And, of course, it would run DOS applications as long as they did not require color and/or VGA as such. Sadly, one time I scrambled one of the memory cards for it. Does anyone know of any similar-sounding DOS-based hand-held computers available? These days it seems like the choice is between Palm-type organizers (too small) and Windows-based laptops (too big). -- Paul mailto:bartlett AT smart DOT net ..........................................................
