Digital Ultra Note - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

22 Aug 2000

The floppy drive is an external wedge that sits underneath the system.
There is a CD-ROM available for it as well as part of a multimedia expansion
tray that the notebook sits in, but you can't have both the floppy and the
CD connected at the same time.

Here's a link to DEC's timeline which includes a HiNote Ultra reference:

 I saw a small notebook computer called a Digital Ultra Note at the
 recycling center. unfortunately, the guy who handles surplus sales
 is gone for 2 weeks so i wasnt able to obtain it, but i'm curious
 about it. My web searches return things that look more like laptop
 computers than a thin notebook computer.

 Can anyone tell me anything about this computer? does it even come with
 a floppy drive, or are all peripherals external (this is a very thin
 laptop, they had 2 stacks of laptops and this was at least 1/2 as thin
 as the rest).
