The military once procured a bunch of XT-like machines that were portable
and keyboardless. Everything was done thru a touchscreen, including a
virtual keyboard. About five years ago, there were a bunch floating around
the hamfests in the Chicago area.

Yes, portable Unix machines do exist! The SPARCstation Voyager is somewhat
like what you describe. It is a luggable monster, and was replaced by the
SPARCbooks some time ago.
