Looks like a useable machine for those interested in CP/M. I will offer to
fund up to $50 for someone in the club to purchase this thing on the condition
that it be used by the CP/M gurus on the list. I do not want it myself.

Subject: [M100] CP/M Laptop
Some people in the list have been interested in CP/M for the M100.
When I saw this CP/M laptop on ebay, I thought they might be interested in
knowing about it, in case it could prove useful in adapting CP/M to the M100.

I've never seen a CP/M clamshell laptop before, and this is a Bondwell, which
at the time was a "mainstream" brand.
The keyboard layout made me think of the NEC 8201 version of the M100. I think
it's got CP/M in ROM, so maybe if you do a ROM dump it might give some info
that can be use in the M100 port...?
At the moment it's cheap, and while I have no use for it, I couldn't let it
pass w/o letting folks know about it.
