ok we have this
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,
we also have the dual disc laptop 1st thing IBM made with lcd
then we also have a one that is like a suitcase compaq portable that
made compaq famous
ok thinks for it all being non scsi!

there where two versions one reflective and the other backlit. In the PS/2

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!
