This series of exchanges confused me until I realized that the original
message was ambiguous with regard to where the laptop was going to be
purchased, and understood that he meant purchase in New York (with $)
before returning to Germany.

Hope that puts this logic issue to rest.

That sends a chill up my spine!  The concern over electronic emissions
is a safety issue, ie- the plane might crash.  If you are going to

Hi, Dear netters:


While I was looking for a cheap Laptop, someone offered me a GRiD 1624sx for
$700. Since I have no idea whether it is of any good and how much it is worth,
I decided to turn to the net for advice.  To give you a better idea about the
machine, I list here some of the information the seller told me:

       1. CPU: 80386sx, running at 16MHz
       2. 1MB RAM, when it is booted up, it says: "640KB working RAM, 360KB in
          shadow RAM (What does this Shadow RAM mean?)
       3. 20MB Hard Disk
       4. VGA
       5. 2 COM ports, 1 LPT
       6. 1 Internal Modem (2400bps)
       7. It runs on GRiD MS DOS, doen NOT run on MS DOS or PC DOS


 Could any one tell me whether it is worth buying? If yes, how much? (It is
 brand NEW.)

Yes, it does exist. You are refering to a product announced at MacWorld
Boston by Newer Technology.
The screen is an active-matric color LCD screen made by Sharp. When
combined with the appropriate video card it delivers 8bit color at 92dpi
on a 640 X 480 pixel screen. (The display card also has 6MB of RAM and
reduces battery life by up to 20%.)

I saw this product demoed at MacWorld and, frankly, I wasn't impressed by
it or its $5000 price tag. The screen was SMALL, it didn't even fill up
the blank space left by the removed black and white LCD screen. The
refresh rate left something to be desired and the pixels were small
enough to make reading text difficult at 12pt.

I was far more impressed by the Envisio ColorFrame, an external
active-matrix LCD color display that can be attached to a PowerBook or
other Macintosh. In fact, I was basically impressed by the Envisio product
line all around.

>Any news on when Apple will offer a color
>Powerbook? 

Wouldn't we like to know. The PowerBooks 160, 180, 210, and 230 are
expected to have 4 bit greyscale displays.

Will Borland C++ run at all on a T1000xe if it has a 2 meg RAM card 
installed?  At some point in the installation, it said it needs 1 M of 
*extended* memory to run.  Does it really require *extended* memory?  If 
so, of course, it won't run on any machine that has an 8086 or 8088, as 
does the T1000xe.  My T1000xe only has 1M of memory at the moment, but I'd 
add the extra RAM card if it would allow Borland C++ to run.   

This is the Borland C++ that is all-inclusive--Windows and DOS, built-in 
environment or Windows environment, etc., etc.  Of course, I don't expect 
the Windows or 386-specific bits to run on the T1000xe, but would like to 
be able to run the compiler and Borland editor/environment.

Comments based on experience will be very welcome.

Thanks
Ross

I placed an order for a Zeos Pocket PC a few weeks ago and it's
scheduled to ship today. I think the PCMag guys are expecting the
sub-notebooks to do too much. I just want a simple and small system to
run WordStar 4.0 or Works for DOS so I can take some notes, I think the
Zeos Pocket PC will do this job quite efficiently. I have a T4400SX
which is wonderful but I can't lug that thing around everywhere.
I would've gotten Gateway's Handbook but I think $1000+ for an XT class
ntoebook is kinda expensive, eventhough with a hard drive, I'd rather
get a refurbished T1000XE.

Greetings!  Now that I've got a Macintosh IIsi, I'm considering getting
rid of my bulky 286 clone and replacing it with a notebook computer for
the few IBM-compatible programs I still need.  My question is regarding
battery burnout. I have an opportunity to buy a T1000SE but the seller
says that if I keep it plugged in all the time, the batteries will be
continually charged and will be ruined.  

Is this true?  If so, is there some way to circumvent the power from 
charging the batteries and have it power the computer instead?  I really 
don't want to have to keep remembering when to plug and unplug, or have 
to reinstall applications when the battery runs down.

Thanks very much for any advice/recommendations.

Actually, you should not be so surprised. Remember the whole beef
about Class A and Class B computing devices? I don't remember what
each of those classes is, though one is for business use, and one is
for domestic use, but the point is that with chips operating at
multiple MHZ, they emit RF frequency signals. Most computer manuals
will tell you that if your computer screws up your TV reception,
'reorient the antenna or move the computer to a different location.'

That means that the RF can interfere with TV,and so I assume that it
can interfere with avionics. If you don't believe me, put a radio next
to your computer, and see what it does. You can actually tune the
radio to the frequency of your keyboard, so that everytime you press a
key, you get a warble on the radio...

I have a friend who "inherited" a very old Zenith Laptop machine.
Apparently there are no markings on th case, but the model number
on the "sticker" is ZWL-183-92.

Problem is that the internal hard disk is dead (probably why he
inherited it).  Only useful identifying marks on it are:
JVC (manufacturer) Model number JD3812M02-1

Question is, what kind of machine does he have and what kind
of hard disk can be used as a replacement ?

If someone has a Zenith phone number, I'll be happy to call them.

    Have you considered the task swapper in DR-DOS 6.0?  You can use it
    independently from the shell.  Desqview also functions as a task
    swapper.  I settled on Desqview for my T1000SE as there is no way I

In the Summer/Fall 1992 SunExpress catalog, their low-end SPARCbook
(8MB DRAM, 85MB Drive and Floppy, Grayscale) goes for US$4950.  There
are eleven models - right up to their powerhouse (32MB DRAM, Two 120MB Drives,
Color) for a mere US$15,700.

Both include full TCP/IP and NFS, as well as a 2400/9600 modem/fax.

Hello all,
   I am looking for a few utilities for my new notebook.  Is there anything
that will show battery life, preferable an icon in Windows?  I tried looking
on archie and could not get a hit on anything.  Thanks.

Help!  Does anyone out there have (or have access to) a service manual
for an old NEC-PC8401A laptop?  This unit is in the Tandy "Model 100"
category, but has an 80x16 flip up display and a form of CP/M as the
operating system.

I am specifically looking for a schematic of the unit.  I inadvertantly
used a wrong wall transformer/PS one day, and blew the power circuit :-(

Thanks,
Steve
