    I found an archive copy of the instructions but it doesn't include the
schematics and drawings so, yes, I'd like to have a copy of the article.
Thanks.

BTW, the SB180 makes a nice lunch box computer.

   These are already in nice steel cases. I'd say just bolt a handle to it
and you're all set. :-) FWIW I have some Compaq Portable III computers.
They're nice little 286s in a lunchbox size case with a fold down keyboard
and gas plasma screen. They also have a couple of ISA card slots in them
(if you have the expansion pod). I'm going to install the Compaticard in
one and them and that will give me a portable system with an 8" drive. I
love these little PIIIs, they're great for uses like this and for EPROM
burners and such that need a card slot.
