	Incorrect. Versions of Windows that can run in real mode (every
version prior to 3.1) can run on 8086's, and therefore on the T1000SE.
I have been running version 2.1 on the T1000SE and it works fine and fits
pretty well within a 2Mb RAM card configured as a disk. Although it will run
as a CGA, you definitely want to set it up as the doublescan CGA ATT Olivetti
mode, which gives you 640x400. Not bad. I run Micrografix Designer, Excel, etc.
	I haven't tried Windows 3.0, but I hear that it works fine. The main
problem is lack of disk space. It really won't fit well on a 2Mb RAMD card.
However, if you are willing to tack on one of those parallel port hard disks
on the T1000SE (or if you have a T1000XE or LE) then Windows 3.0 works as well.

A weak dollar means you get less DM for your $, not the other way around... 
Also, generally the prices in the US are lower than in Germany or Holland.

All information I've seen to date indicate that, to keep cost down, Compaq
chose *not* to support simultaneous internal (LCD) and external displays.
Have you actually seen this feature in operation? Absense of such a feature
is enough to make some of us look elsewhere. (I'm starting to look at AST's
new Power Exec and TI's 4000.) Compaq's memory upgrade prices are also
enough to discourage further interest.

Maybe nobody owns such a nice tool... Actually, I can't see no reason why regular DOS5 shouldn't work on your "grandpa's" computer. The only thing is that you won't be able to use extended memory because I believe the T1200 is a 8086 (at least compatible) computer. The only chance could be to insert an exPAnded memory card and the corresponding EMS device driver. 8086's can't address more than 1 meg - they have only 20 address lines!

Hope that helps.

Has anyone actually seen the screen?  It does not appear to be backlit; it
is good enough anyway?  How about the keyboard?  This computer looks really
thin in the photos - is there enough key travel?

I can get it with 10Mb RAM, a 120Mb, 17ms hard drive, an extra battery, etc.
for ~$3000 (the basic unit - 2Mb RAM, 60Mb hard drive - is $2149) directly

Yes, Toshiba markets its own DOS 5 and it does work on the
T1200.

You can use generic DOS 5 but the auto-resume and possibly
some other Toshiba features do not work.

Hi all,
I have a Zenith supersport (the amazing brick that it is) and the 40 meg HD has
died.  There about 1/2 meg of space went bad when it was dropped.  I tried to
use Norton to turn the bad sectors off, but it doesn't seem to work right.  It
keeps letting the system write to the bad sectors, so I can't save to the HD
(although the stuff that's already there still works fine.) Stacker has an even
bigger problem, since it doesn't recognize as many bad sectors as Norton does.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated if you've had a similar problem.

Anyhow, I'd like to get a new HD for it.  It can use any of the older Connor
HD's, if you'd like to part with one.    I'll give you a good price for it,
too.   I will take any HD that appears on the Zenith setup HD list.  (If you're
not sure, write me and I'll tell you if I can use it.)

Thanks in advance,
Bill Collins

Post Scriptum,  Does anyone know if other than Connor drives can be used on the
Supersport?  Is there anyway to update the HD list on the setup?

Hi, I am looking for an internal 2400bps MNP5 modem for GRiD 1450sx.  Because
there are already phone line jacks installed for the modem, I can't use a
third-party modem.  If any one has such a modem for sale, please drop me a
line.  Thanks.

Greetings,
Recently I have been giving some though to the purchase of a DOS laptop,
and the Compaq Contoura has bubbled to the surface as good choice.

For a Compaq the price seems RIGHT!  I would appreciate any comments 
current owners/users might have about the Contoura.  In the few brief
glimpses I have had - I liked the look, but "looks are only skin deep".

Thanks you in advance for any comments you may have.

Terry.

Expect to see in the announcement on the 19th:
System 7.1
Quicktime 1.5
Powerbooks 160 and 180. The key thing here is that they have a video out
port supporting a range of colour monitors. LCD screen for the 180
is active matrix 16 shades of grey.
Duo powerbooks and variety of docking stations.

The above is from memory only and I refuse to be responsible!
