Hello from Gregg C Levine Close. The Compaq Portables, were MS-DOS machines. Native MS-DOS, or OEM for Compaq.
And I think Kaypro was an also ran for the whole notion of building a portable machine. They came out, about the same time as the Compaq job. And here's a giggle. For each machine, you needed an individual parts kit. That is, for the I, you needed a parts kit for a I, for a II, for a II, for a III, same story. They think they are still in business. I'll know more by this year's PCEXPO. So Mr. Osborne's machine knew it was the first one out there. And Adam, there is an SSH port for DOS, just search the Source Forge site for it. I think its located at http://sshdos.sf.net I always said this was a fun business. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
