IBM 700 Laptop Significance?

I picked up a copy of Mobile Computing and the editorial starts off by mentioning several portable computers that were significant in the history of mobile computing. Included in the list was the Model 100 (of course) and the IBM 700 (I forget the others.) The question I have is what was significant about the IBM 700? If it's the I think it is, it had an external fdd, but it certainly wasn't the first (heck, the M100 had that.) So, does anyone know what the ed might have been talking about? --------------------------------------------------------------------- O- Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad roger(a)sinasohn.com that none but madmen know."
