Subject: Recommendation wanted for luggable/portable CP/M machine

Hello All -

     I find myself in need of a luggable or semi-portable CP/M system.
After looking through a bunch of ads in various magazines, it seems
the ENTIRE world has pulled the insides out of their old CP/M boxes
and substituted 8088-based electronics instead.  Nothing against
8088-based stuff; I've got software which is not available for that
series of processor.

     I would appreciate receiving pointers to firms which carry CP/M
(Z80-based, please) integrated systems (something slightly smaller
than the old Kaypro 2).  Requirements are:

       o Display built in.  (80 x 24 on a 4" to 5" display is okay.)
       o Serial port is a MUST (need to wire a modem to this thing).
       o Sufficient documentation to port some specialized com-
         munications software into it (need hardware docs, schematics
         would be a real plus).
       o Battery-powered units not necessary - commercial power is
         available for this thing.
       o 5.25" or 3.5" disk drives are a must.

     Your comments/pointers are appreciated.

Mark Becker
