It was Otrona Attache.
It was exceptionally portable. They did an ad showing a Charlie Chaplin
trying to carry a PC down stairs on a table; one of the first cases where
IBM's lawyers enforced their ownership of Charlie Chaplin as a trademark

It had 40 track per side drives that were upgradable to 80 track per side.
There was an 8088 coprocessor add-in card for MS-DOS!
