I have a SunRace laptop, also V20, from the same time frame. It still
works but the floppy and serial ports have died so I can't get stuff
in or out. I bought it (new) because with no backlight and running
off nice big D-Cell nicads I could get a full days work out of it -
something I've never been able to do with any other laptop.
Currently using an old IBM Thinkpad 560 (100MHz Pentium) which works
very nicely running Linux...

Hi folks:
I am curious about early PCs with lcd screens. Something from the early
dos days, in a flip-up or clamshell design.
Anyone have any favorites?
Well I own a Panasonic DOS laptop. It's got a NEC V20 CPU, 640K memory and
DOS 3.3 in ROM. I purchased it new in either 1988 or 1989 basically to use
as a terminal to dial in to work. Still got it sitting around here
somewhere in a cupboard. The floppy drive appears to be dead (along with
the battery) but replacing the floppy would make for a nice portable
terminal for the VAXstation I plan to take on holidays this year.
