Cord:
You can always get CPM-86 for it....
here's the info from DG's page:
DG/One (1984)
The industry's first truly portable IBM-compatible PC, the DG/One
weighed 10 pounds and could fit in a standard 3-inch-thick briefcase.
The DG/One featured some innovative technologies:
a high-speed, low-power CMOS processor, built-in software for text
editing and terminal emulation,
capacity for two 3.5" floppy disk drives, and a 12-inch flat panel LCD
screen -- leading-edge technology in 1984.
Unfortunately, the screen was a bit too "leading edge." As Byte Magazine
said in its September, 1995 issue, "The nonbacklit screen was almost
readable if the light was just right and you had the vision of Superman.
Most people didn't."

Next, I am curious about a Data General One laptop
computer I picked up.
Specifically, I need to know what type of power supply it takes, as I
can't find that information anywhere. It says it is ms-dos based, but I
am wondering what dos would run on it. It has 2 3.5" disk drives (Epson
drives), and I am curious as to if it had a hard drive? It has a
full-screen, I would suppose monochrome? Could it display graphics,
etc.? Also, when was it made?
*any* information on the above two items most certainly are welcome, and
would be quite appreciated. Please let me know if you are interested in
getting either one of these as well.
I will post some more very unique items in the next couple of days that
I was lucky enough to get my grubby little hands on....
Thanks in advance,
CORD COSLOR
