The thing has a bog-standard AT PSU and Baby-AT 386 motherboard in
it, right down to the 30-pin SIPP RAM. I keep threatening to put a
Pentium board and a SVGA TFT color screen in it, for a knock-around PeeCee.
However, I just hit eBay for "Dolch", and I think my 386 is safe.
That P-III mil-spec jobbie looks swank!

I'd like to find a docking station/expansion
chassis
for my Portable 3. It's my understanding that this
will hold *two* (full size?) ISA cards.
It's been awhile so I'm not positive but I think it takes 3/4 length
boards and IIRC one slot is 8 bit and the other is 16 bit.
I'm hoping
that this will be a good, *compact* home for my
Opus PM (I'd hate to have to set up a regular PC
for this -- the Portable 3 has the advantage of the
built in display, etc.).
Alternatively, can anyone suggest something that will
hold two full size ISA cards in a similarly small
footprint? Ideally, with a COLOR display instead
I've seen similar luggables that have color screens. A lot of them were
originally used for network snoopers. I have a color one somewhere. I don't
remember who made it but I think Dolch built some. You might check E-bay
for Dolch computers. The snoopers usually have three slots but I don't
think ANY of the lunch box size machines will support a FULL length card.
They simply not big enough. If you really need to use full size cards then
check for one of the suitcse size Compaq Portable or Portable II or
something of that size.
