Say does anyone on this list know if the Data General
Walkabout was ever
released to the public (ie used outside of DG corporation) and what
year/month that would have been. The SX model was released but what year
too? Also was the DG/One released in 1984 and what month then too?
Lastly does anyone know when the Sharp MZ-200 was released?

The summer 1990 DG product guide lists the walkabout as being available. It
shows 2 versions: the Walkabout Portable Terminal and the Walkabout/SX. I
vaguely remember seeing one demoed at Comdex, which is where I picked up the
literature. I'd be happy to send you a PDF of the product guide.
The DG/One was released in Sept. 1984. I believe I still have a presskit
from the launch and can scan it if you like.
