While I would definitely classify it as an MS-DOS

you specify DOS 1.x?
Because that's what mine came with. The Hyperion was intro'd at the
Spring 1982 Comdex, which I think beat Compaq's intro, so natch the
world's first portable DOS machine is going to come with MS-DOS 1.x.
No software I've tried so far (admittedly little)
has seen the Hyperion's
internal modem or serial port. What do I have to do to get these to work?
I take it you don't have the original docs or software? Mine came with
some software called IN:TOUCH that uses the modem.
I don't see a lot of technical details in the manual, but here are a few
tidbits: there's a built-in RAM disk (C:); the connectors in the back from
left to right are: composite video, phone, line, optional accoustic
coupler, serial, parallel, expansion; display modes: 320x200, 640x200,
320x250, 640x250.
Send me mail privately if you'd like illegal copies of the software,
including BASICA and MACRO-86 1.0 (MASM 1.0?).
