- Although I've seen terminals like you describe most of them were over
- US$1000. They are typically made for the diagnostic/testing market and
- so tend to be rather expensive.
-
- You can get an MS-DOS palmtop for a bit more than $500. Here's a list
- of some such machines:

- * Poqet PC slots are not totally PCMCIA 1.0 compatible, ask the
- card manufacturer about Poqet PC compatability.
- & the HP-95LX simulates a virtual MDA and has 240x128 proprietary graphics.
- % reported to be PCMCIA 2.0
-
- All machines are PCMCIA 1.0 unless otherwise noted, probably Type I cavities.
- Some machines have Digital Research's DR-DOS instead of MS-DOS.
- Prices are more or less accurate as of 92/08/27.
- No LCD has a backlight.
