I've just obtained an unusual laptop circa 1983, a Dulmot Magnum.
Garbage-bin green body, quite heavy. Runs on 6V, MS-DOS 2.11 Very strange
flip-up LCD display, about 8 lines x 80 characters. Actually, this thing is
pretty well designed for its day.
Does anybody know about the history of this machine, and where it fits in
relative to other laptops of the era (ie: what was the first genuine laptop,
when, etc) ?
