"Convertable"
Prior to release, IBM was filming one or more commercials with a
Charlie Chaplin look-a-like in a 1957 Chevy ragtop
and we have an IBM that is like the Compaq
Portable and of
"portable" / 5155
course a first PC ( where do I get Charlie

have next to it!?)
Otrona!
The screen on the convertable is not plasma, it is a LCD screen and
there where two versions one reflective and the other backlit. In the
PS/2 days there where suitcase size machines with plasma displays but
they only had a single diskette drive that folded out of the front, one
model is the 8573-P70. There where 386 and 486 versions of these
machines with microchannel card slots and a SCSI disk.
