So anyway, I sorta feel like I could not add another machine and still have
a collection of portables that covers the important ones, plus a bunch that
were kinda weird or personally significant.
But, I'm certainly no expert, so there may very well be some that I'm
missing that are important. I know I'd like to get a Z88 and a Poquet PC,
an Original Compaq (I've got a Compac [sic] but that's not the same thing).
Can anyone else think of some I should be looking for?
Hmm... a few spring to mind...
Apple //c (esp if you can score a battery pack and/or LCD panel)
Apple Newton 100
Kaypro 2
Kaypro 2000
Radio Shack PC-1
Tandy/AST/Casio Zoomer
Visual Commuter
And for the ubiquitous help request:
Does anyone have the Power Supply pinout for a Kaypro 2000+? Or do I own
the last one in creation? <<<John>>>
Not quite, John. I have a rather battered and beaten one also.
Unfortunately, I don't know either!
