I have a pretty cool DEC 486 laptop. I am unsure if they made a Pentium
laptop before they were bought out.

I dream of owning an Alphabook. It?s a silly
dream, but it?s one I dream
anyway.
I have a Sparcbook 3GS (I think that?s the model) somewhere.

That's quite a lot of units.
This said the only I ever saw from real is the Voyager... there was one in my university
computing lab, a very nice design

Yes the IBMs are worth tracking down. I always keep my eye out but rarely
see them come up for sale but it'd be fun to have an RS/6000 that doesn't
cause a hernia to move. My only similar one is a tadpole but I don't recall
the version. I used a universal power supply to get it to run for a little
while but then I'm pretty sure the backlight on the lcd popped and went
out. So I'm also a member of the almost but not quite functioning owners
club. :-) Would gladly get rid of some Ultras if I could upgrade to a
portable.

oooooh! Do you, by chance, know where I can find either install media
or the Tadpole-specific drivers for a SPARCBook 2? System docs would be
a bonus.
I have an SB2 with a dying HDD. I also have a 2.5" SCSI-IDE adapter,
so I'd like to get it going again. This would likely be a bootp-based
installation.
Thanks!
