Amstrad used to make such a machine, but it was only an 8088 with dual
floppies.  The closest thing to a full-size keyboard on a laptop is
probably the IBM L40 SX.  An external numeric keypad is included.
When you set the keypad next to the laptop, you end up with a layout
that is almost the same as the standard IBM Enhanced layout.  The L40
is discontinued, but USA Flex is selling off the surplus for $1299.

The Cyrix 486SLC is basically a 386SX clone with a 1K cache added.
The name is rather misleading.  I think "375% faster" is optimistic.
I've seen real life benchmarks that put it around 20-40% faster than
an equivalent 386SX.

David,

In a technical sense, what you need is a floppy controller that can transfer
data at 500kbs (vs 250 which is what you now have).  Such a controller is
the CompatiCard from Micro Solutions in Dekalb Ill., or a Bridge File controller
made by Sysgen.  You will have to add this controller as a second floppy 
controller, so you'll need an extra open slot.  You can buy a package
from both Micro Solutions and Sysgen that has the controller and a properly 
matched floppy drive.  These are available as internal or external units.

Call Henry Fale at Quickdata (414) 452-4172.  He can tell you exactly what
will and will not work, and can sell you a good product.  His prices are
excellent (try comparing his to what you see in Computer Shopper or other
mags).  

I've used both.  Each is a good product.  Micro Solutions technical support
is much better.   If you've got other questions, I'd be happy to try to
help.

  Yup, get your self a 1meg Sipp module, like 100 or 120 NS, and take the 
unit apart, and install the sipp where there is about 40 holes in a row, 
and solder a few connections in.  And your pretty much there.

assembly manual. 

Also, does Heath continue to support their line of Heathkit

also, when reading a regular software disk,
It has become a little loud. No grinding, or loud screech noises or

Organization: Boeing Computer Services (ESP), Seattle, WA

While running Turbo C++ my machine kept getting a memory parity error.
Memory diagnostics didn't find the error. I set a trap on the NMI
interrupt handler entry, then when the error occured again I checked
ports F4H, F5H, F6H, and F7H for errors (technical manual 15-14). F7
showed 11110111 which implies an error in Bank 3 of the 4th card (of 4
1Meg cards).

So my question is how are the banks laid out on the
386/16 memory card?

I think maybe that the commercial program Dialogue 128 supports this type of
handshaking, but I'm not sure.
