On the bright side, access time was quite fast, and battery life was excellent.
This sounds like a perfect machine to do some oldskool DOS 8088 programming on
while on trips... Do the batteries in these kinds of things still work and/or
can be reconditioned? If not, are there any portable small 8088/8086 laptops
(other than the HP palmtops, which still command a premium for some reason)
that use conventional batteries?
