A reasonably
portable computer -- meaning it can be mains powered, but
must be all one box (including keyboard and display), although I
suppose
I would accepta machine that needs a serial terminal (although not a
PC-like machine that needs a monitor and keyboard
I use a portable DOLCH 386 for that : Lunchbox design with keyboard and Main problems are : limited to the supplied ISA VGA
card, haven't yet
figured out how to use a PCI card for that
Also limited to monochrome 640x480, because of the Plasma display.
What do you do if the VGA card fails? Doesn't sound easily fixable or
replaceable?
If you look upon the motherboard as a replaceable part, just like the
CPU itself, it should fit Tony's requirements.
My views on this have not changed :-)
