I seem to have gotten my T1000 in a wedged state.  I've included a
driver in CONFIG.SYS that is apparently incompatible with MS-DOS 2.11.
The T1000 now simply loops, rebooting each time it tries to load the
driver.  I have the internal configuration set to boot from RAM disk.
What can I do to get MS-DOS running so I can fix up CONFIG.SYS?

No. The expansion for memory is a board and it uses 4-256Kx4 dips.

According to Bondwell, it is not a User installable option.

I'm pretty sure that the 640x400 graphic mode in the Handbook uses the
AT&T/Olivetti standard.  (I read it somewhere, but I don't remember
where.)  But it would be very unusual for somebody to suddenly invent
a different standard for 640x400.

AT&T/Olivetti 640x400 is supported by quite a bit of software.
Windows, Geoworks, and Quattro Pro are three that I know of.  This
mode is strictly black and white, no gray scales.  Since LCD screens
have such low contrast, I prefer plain black and white anyhow.  My old
Sharp 4641 laptop has a 640x400 screen, and Geoworks looks very good
in AT&T mode.

I posted a request for information on PCBrand a few days ago and
got sufficient response to confince me that they are a reputable
company. I'm very close to buying their 486/SLC 120 MB notebook
for $1995. However now I'm looking at the powerbooks as an alternative.
I'm definately going to pay more for a powerbook, but it seems that
with it's DOS/Mac versatility, it is the wave of the future and it
will be with me longer.

Does anyone have any advice for me? How much more will I be paying
to buy a powerbook comperable in performance to a 486/SLC. I know
I can't get the same hard drive on a power book, but 80 is all I'll
I'll ever need right now. I'm not a software junky.

This is the same one I've got- haven't added the memory so I don't know
what it takes (although I'd be interested in what you find out)
Numbers for Bondwell:
 
Tech service 1-800-288-4388
US Sales 1-800-888-6331
 
Their cost for the 1MB expansion is $149.95 plus parts/labor- it
appears from the accessories list that you can't just buy the thing
from them and put it in. I have seen the modules for sale in computer
shopper for $109-119 or so. Hope this helps out.

I have an application where I need to be able to use BOTH the modem and
a serial port for data I/O.  The Zeos would be ideal, if I could put a
PCMCIA modem card in one of the slots, but Zeos doesn't seem to have
ever heard of this.  As I understand it, they sell an external pocket modem.

I don't mind having a 'tail' like Toshiba laptops do, if I can configure
the modem as COM2, and still have the serial port free.

How about the Toshiba 3300SL?
386SL, 25 MHZ, 2 MB RAM, and 80 MB hard drive for $2550 street price.
Has mouse and VGA ports. Under 6 pounds. True suspend/resume. 3 hours
flat out battery life BEFORE POWER MANAGEMENT. 386SL Super Sleep mode. 
Removeable NICKEL HYDRIDE battery- **NO MEMORY EFFECT**. Recharge: 2.5 hrs.
Flash EPROM BIOS - 20 second upgrades! Good keyboard layout/feel
Battery gas gauge BUILT INTO THE BIOS. 16/32 shade VGA greyscaling.
Credit card modem (2400, no fax) and memory slots.

ONLY gripe : mouse port poorly located (right edge near front, just
in front of the disk drive).

I just had my hands on one for a few minutes.  It seems a little bigger than
the 25Lite, but weighs about the same.  It definitely has a swanky style to it,
which stands out among the crowd of clones.  The keyboard had a very nice
feel, unlike the 25Lite.  It looked to be a solidly built machine, 
that ran Windows fairly quickly.  The recent issue of PC Magazine has a 
first look on one.  It is too new to be included among the 80 notebooks
reviewed in this issue, but they did do some performance measurements, which
you can compare with the rest of the notebooks.   I think Compaq has another
winner in their notebook lineup.

I agree with Dave wholehartedly. GeoWorks Ensemble gives me the GUI speed

The university here maintains an Apple store.  Prices seem to be on the
low end because of the educational discount.  

They are:
	Powerbook 100 2/20 with external floppy    	$996
	Powerbook 140 2/20 					$1869
	Powerbook 140 2/40 					$2094

The Gateway Handbook (which a Gateway rep says will not ship until August)
is a doubtful candidate to run Windows 3.0 or 3.1 in my opinion.

1. It has a C&T 286 clone CPU. I've seen Windows 3.0 and 3.1 run on
   various old 10 & 12MHz 386 boxes. The words "slow" and "sluggish" do
   not even begin to describe the feeling you get when trying to do
   anything on such units. I understand that turning off TrueType display
   to the CRT speeds things up a bit. But that seems to defeat the purpose
   of a WYSIWYG environment to me.
2. The 20MB disk drive is just too small to run Windows applications
   software. E.g., lets say you want Windows 3.1, Word for Windows (or
   WordPerfect for Windows or AmiPro), and Excel (or Lotus 1-2-3 for
   Windows or the soon-to-be-released Quattro Pro for Windows) on your
   system. I think that most folks would agree that this is a reasonable
   collection of applications (a word processor and a spreadsheet). Even
   after dumping tutorial and sample files, I'm not sure you would have
   much room for work files (document and spreadsheet files).
3. If Windows does not support the Handbook's double scan mode (640x400),
   you would be stuck looking at a 620x200 B/W screen (no shades of gray
   either). That would be pretty hard on the eyes.

I think the Gateway 2000 Handbook is a pretty interesting looking
sub-notebook. However, I don't think anyone would want to try to work with
Windows 3.x on it for any length of time.

On the other hand, it would probably be a good candidate to run something
like Q&A 4.0 or some reasonble collection of DOS apps that could be
squeezed onto a 20MB hard disk.

BTW. I'd be interested to know if Stacker or SuperStor works on the
Handbook. Those programs would provide at least a little more working disk
space.

I have read that the PowerBook 100 is avilable for about $900
in the 4/40 configuration with external floppy.  I would 
like to buy one, but the only source I know of is Price Club;
there is no Price Club near me, and they will not ship
by mail order.

Does anyone know where else I can buy a PowerBook for <=
$1000?

Thanks.
