Perhaps it would be less awkward to lug the luggable version of that
machine around? ;)
I've got a Televideo TPC-I, and two of the disks I got with it are labeled
"TS-803/803H/TPC-I", which might imply that they are the same machine in
different packaging.
It's an arm-stretcher, but I have managed to carry it for fairly lengthy
distances on a couple of occasions. I could hardly lift a fork to my
mouth after bringing it home the first time, though. :)
Does anyone know how to program the graphics on that beast? And what was
the SuperMouse, and was it actually used for anything?
Does anyone know a SAFE way of opening the TPC-I case? It looks like a
former owner tried and broke some plastic snaps. I tried unscrewing
everything but ended up with a free-floating power supply until I got it
jostled back over the screw holes. There must be a special technique to
cracking the case?

I have some photos of the TPC-I on my web page.
