My brother-in-law has found a Visual Technology Commuter
"portable" at a local thrift. It's operational and runs
PC-DOS 3.10, for which its previous owner thoughtfully
included a boot diskette.
This machine has an LCD display, and two 1/2 height
black face 5.25" floppy drives and 512K of RAM. Despite
a diligent internet search, this is all we know.
Does anyone here have any fond memories and/or pointers
to more information on this machine?
Thanks!

Do you mean that huge portable with the black handle that turns into
something similar to tar?
If so, I have one and I've been offered another. My Visual portable has
a tip up screen about half the size of the machine but only has a tiny LCD
screen in it. The plug for the screen on mine is bad but it works with a
regular monitor. The other machine & screen works fine. I think I have a
copy of the original disk, but I know I don't have any docs.
