The Gavilan did indeed have a touchpad above the keyboard in 1983. I happen
to have a presskit and photos. Its position--at a 90-degree angle to the
keyboard--would have made it awkward to use.
I recall seeing an odd Olivetti notebook with a touchpad in the late 80's,
which I think would pre-date the Powerbook. The Olivetti also had a faux
Italian marble finish.
