Shouldn't a laptop have a screen? I have two T100s and neither has
a built-in display.

And thanks for the infomation on the T1000.

I just heard that Daniel Meyer, the founder of SwTPC, passed away
this past Saturday, May 16th, 1998. Although we never met, he
had a positive impact on my life, and on the lives of many others.
A moment of silence is in order.
Bill.

I've actually talked to the #3 bidder and the item is back up for auction and
is currently priced at around 203.

Those are unrelated, to each other and to (IIRC) the IMS in Nevada who made
whole computers at about the same time.

I received a message from a person named Robert Bocock today with a PDF
attachement of the card I was asking about, and it was exactly what I
needed. Thanks to anyone that may have been digging for info for me. It
appears the card is made by DFI USA.

Now take a look at the feedback. You'll find that the two high bidders are bogus. The winning bid was actually the #3 bidder, who would be within
his rights to decline the honor. The only way we'll know how much this *really* sold for is to check back in a couple of weeks and see who (if
anyone) gets positive feedback from the seller.

No. IMSAI was a different company. The IMS rams, I had two of the 8kx8
were good stuff.
