This was the only hit I got when looking for
information about a portable

produced -- I can't find anything about it beyond the BYTE article (Aug
1989).
If we're talking about the thing that was a bunch of wedge-shaped pieces
that latched together, there were prototypes -- and I saw one -- but there
were no production computers AFAIK.

That's too bad -- probably the proposed $12K price tag that killed it.
It's hard to imagine a company better positioned to push the envelope
(Agilis was apparently comprised of top guys from GRiD, NeXT, and
Convergent Technologies, probably the three most innovative companies of
their time).
