<I've recently heard of someone who told me about an 8080 laptop from <someone who has been into computers longer than I have. He said that <there was a laptop... in the 1970's, that was smaller than the origional <Compaq. It was soupossed to only have a little RAM, and it was used by <journalists, who would connect with a modem an upload the files. Is <this true? If so, what on earth ever happened to these? (Does this <sound like something else... H/PC come to mind? Sounds bogus. The small laptops using 8080 (actually 8085) were the tandy M-100s and there were also the Epson and NEC but none were before 1979. I did a quick flip through my Kbaud and Byte for 76-80 and there were no adverts for anything laptop other than a hand terminal that used a 4bit part. I happen to have a Epson geneva (PX8) but that was years later(1984). Allison
