I looked for a 5.25" system, and gave up. I wouldn't give up my nice big reliable robust 3.5" drives for anything, now. For a portable machine, now that 3.5" drives are becoming popular, 5.25" drives are a dea loss. Beware, though. DG-1 and Kaypro 2000 use the same format on their 3.5" drives. HP uses something diffeerent. I don't know about the others but given HP's track record for (in) compatibility I'd avoid them. I also wouldn't want a backlit LCD screen. The new LCD screens are readable enough anyway, and can you say "power hog"? -- Peter da Silva (the mad Australian werewolf) UUCP: ...!shell!neuro1!{hyd-ptd,baylor,datafac}!peter MCI: PDASILVA; CIS: 70216,1076
