I'm looking to buy a Lexbook MB-10, an
8088-based subnotebook made by
Lexmark (the IBM spinoff) & discontinued in about 1994-95.
If you have one for sale or any information on Lexbooks, please let me
know @ johnsandel(a)earthlink.net.
I hope someone can help him out...John's a former Lexbook MB10 owner & user
who's looking to replace his now-gone old Lexbook. He did a great
job of digging into Lexmark a few years ago, to finally find someone
who'd admit that Lexmark *made* notebooks!
For people wondering what a Lexbook MB-10 is, pictures and a bit
of info are at:

Looking over the pictures on the link it sure reminds me a LOT of my
Lexicomp LC 8600 (which is a fair amount smaller). I wonder if the actual
manufacturer wasn't Sinolog for the Lexbook as well?
all the info I could find at the moment below.
