If it's built like my Dynabyte 5100, then I wouldn't want to have to
carry it around. :-) Note: the 5100 is not what one would call a
portable computer... it has three separate stackable chasis, each
weighing somewhere around 50lbs. These cases are made of fairly heavy
weight steel and each has its own analog power supply. There's one
case for the CPU, S-100 bus and I/O ports (eight or nine of them,
IIRC), then a separate chasis for the very, very, loud Micropolis 10"
hard drive and another chasis containing two Shugart DSDD floppy
drives. Note that this system runs the MP/M-II operating system.
