Try www.educalc.com:80/products/inpvt.htm for a unit called the PTV 30
palmtop PC. Also in the same area is HP's 200LX. Both are DOS/XT/Mono
CGA. I will add the disclaimer that I have never used either one of
these devices, only that I ran across EduCalc's web site a few days ago.
I HAVE bought from EduCalc many times in the past (in my HP-41 days) and
found them to be a great place to deal with.
