there where two versions one reflective and the  other backlit.  In the PS/2 
days there where suitcase size machines with  plasma displays but they only had 
a single diskette drive that folded out of  the front, one model is the 
8573-P70.  There where 386 and 486 versions  of these machines with 
microchannel card slots and a SCSI disk.

Again, no.  They did not ship with a SCSI disk.  They used  the same disks 
as were in the model 50 & 70 (which were *not*  SCSI).

A number of us at IBM (who worked on the SCSI cards spock &  tribble) did 
fit the card (usually spock because it had 512KB of cache) and an  IBM 320MB 
SCSI drive in the P70.  It was *not* a standard (ie orderable)  
configuration but at the time created a wicked machine!
