Want an NCR 3125 slate computer running the PenPoint OS for your
collection? ;-) Intel 80386 processor and 20MB hard disk.
I've got one in mine (along with a Original Newton upgraded to an MP 100,
I just got a 130, an upgraded 2000 and the 2100 I use every day, plus
assorted Casio B.O.S.S and Sharp Wizard units....). Right next to my
TRS-80 Model I and Plus-upgraded 128K Mac, both still functional
I'll soon start running tours of "Bill's Computer and PDA Museum" <grin>
