Microsolutions has had their line of "Backpack" drives on the market
for some time, and there is also a new external parallel-port HD out
from a company called Sysgen.

The external drive I mentioned in a previous posting ($299 from Damark)
is a Flashdrive, but it doesn't seem to have the battery power things included.
I returned it because I was having trouble with their disk driver and so
I never opened it up to see if it had a place for batteries or not.
I now have a Microsolutions 40MB (and still have trouble with the disk
driver interfering with COM1 interrupts).  I've not tried the Sysgen unit.

- There has been a 1 MB expansion card from Toshiba which fits into the same
  slot as the internal modem, so you can only use one of them.
- I dont think that you can upgrade the FDD/HDD to bigger ones.
- I dont think you can upgrade the BIOS.
- The simplest way to use an 1.44MB FDD form another computer is to use
  the DD.BIN driver from LapLinkIII.

Isn't the 1000 using an 8088 ?  If so, then a V20 should be in order.

I have no experience with the 1000, but I did plug a V30 into a T2100 in
lieu of the 8086, without changing anything else.  Norton's Sysinfo
thought that the V30 was running at 10MHz, suprising enough, considering 
that the T2100 is a 7.16 MHz machine.  

Still, the broad range of testing programs that I
tried indicated an across-the-board improvement in performance of some
10-15 per cent.

The 386SL is made by Intel.  It's a 386SX at heart that is a "fully static"
design, which means it will retain its contents even if you stop the clock
(which you want to do to conserve power).  It includes a number of peripheral
functions onboard (e.g., RAM controller) (I may be mistaken here - the 386SL
is designed for use with another chip, which may have all the extra
functions).  The 386SL includes some new instructions to make suspend/resume
easier to implement.

The 386SXL is made by AMD.  It too is a fully static 386SX.  As far as I
know, it does not include any of the additional features of the 386SL
(although from a practical standpoint you can design a system around the
386SXL that has all the desirable features of a system designed around
the 386SL).

Yup, you replace the whole damn motherboard.  It uses a different MFM ROM
package than the 2(1)s, and to replace the 2" drive you have to replace
the ROMs in the puppy.  Since this is all surface mount technology, your
gonna have some fun...  Even Zenith wont do it for you.  (Also the
company which used to make 20 meg hard drives that will fit into the 2"
slot don't anymore...  The hard drive from Zenith, if you can get it, is
worth $1500.00  (Last time I checked...)  
 
All that aside, I would also have to guess that you'd have some fun getting
the drivers to run correctly.  It's like night and day between the 2 I 
had and the 1-H that I now have.  (Has a lot more flexibility in the
setup...)

Oh, and as a final note, as soon as you try to add the chips, your bound to
void the warranty, and from my experience (6 motherboards - at $1800 each)
you DON'T want to do that!

I'm looking for a pocket FAX/modem with the highest speeds possible,

up to MNP 10 if possible, CAS/Class 2 and 3 FAX compatibility (is
there such a thing as Class 1?), and suggestions for FAX software that
works under DOS and GeoWorks (MS-Windows optional).  Data rate of at
least 19.2 Kbaud, preferably higher.  Battery operated, natch---any
replies regards how long I can power the modem on a single charge are
greatly appreciated.  Size and weight are important: I'm seeking a
true pocket modem, something not much larger and heavier than a
cigarette pack.

Finally, I'm trying to join any mailing lists or groups that discuss
traveling notebook issues.  I've heard of a list called TechNomads,
but can't find it.  I'm especially interested in any lists that hook
up "nomads" and Internet "hosts" with each other.  Or anything that
tells me how I can join a dialup network (which has nodes in
Europe---Germany, England, France, Italy, and Switzerland, especially)
that allows me to get onto the Internet and use IP services (I need to
dialup and be able to telnet back to my network at the University of
Texas at Austin).  I've finally got the info on how to use my notebook
with a pocket modem to dialup from anywhere I can find a handset (the
solution was to just get a true acoustic coupler---contrast this with
a handset coupler), and then have a gaggle of modular jack converters
for directly jacking in (anyone know if I'll fry my modem with
incompatible voltages?  anyone know how I should wire up from RJ-11 to
other national modular jacks?).

Questions, questions, and more questions.  I'll summarize answers back

I'm really reluctant to go out and buy a new 386/486 machine 
when I don't really do that much work at home, and the 1100+'s
speed (or lack of) is still very adequate for my needs.

A 20 to 30MB HD will significantly extend the useful life of my
machine.

Regards to all,
Onward.

I was looking at my T1000SE display when the lights were down low and noticed
that the brightness seems to 'flash' at about 1 sec dim:2 sec bright.
I am running BACKLITE and FASTSE, could this do it?
Is it getting old?
Something breaking?
Should I start thinking about saving for that NeXT?

I'm looking for a cheap ( under $1000) notebook pc. I'd like a 286, 2mb ram
40 mb disk. Can such a machine be had for under a grand or should I set my sights
lower (a definite possibilty). What are some reliable models? Any advice would
be appreciated.
	Thanks,
	  George
