    Which 1980s notebook?

    Question for the old codgers here and hope someone remembers it. I have some vague memories, but have no success googling for it. I thought it was a sinclair but couldn't find anything on it.

    Description:
    British made. Black body colour. I think about 6 line LCD. Had an interesting print preview squeezed to the right of the screen. Form factor similar to the TRS-80 Model 100 (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._Model_100.jpg)

    Do you remember the sinclair model number? I can't find it on the net. Wanted to check out the specs as I was telling my brother about that machine few days ago. I don't think it was a popular machine. Think it was made circa '86.

    Yes, I do. State-of-the-art geek gadget in those days. IIRC, it was not very compatible with many DOS program and very expensive. It had a bonafide IBM PC 8088 processor when proper desktops were still sporting 80386 - only 2 generations ahead. Didn't know it was in T2 until you mentioned it.
