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"?
