Hi Ted, take it... I seem to remember the one at the meeting could also
run off of a battery pack.

Let's just talk about the standard PC Convertible. It is a PC XT with a
mono CGA display in it and standard XT keyboard. You can put 1.44's in
it, however you need set144 from the PC tools disk to make it work.
Fr4om a HDD standpoint, you could put in an a small 20Meg MFM drive and
controller card. Come see me and I'll fix you up. BTW, I have one
already setup like this and another one on for parts. Workes fine with
an DACA card and you can collect samples at 60SPS. The other thing you
can do is go to fry's and buy a small footprint motherboard. It will
need to have the old style P8-P9 power connectors however and support
CGA.
