You may remember the Book8088 micro-laptop and Hand386 handheld from last year. I always said I'd buy one if they were the other way around: a handheld 8088 or a '386 laptop. Well, then they started selling the Pocket386 - and I bought one. It arrived Friday. I powered it on to make sure it works, and it does. They've pre-installed some pirated copy of Win95 on there, but I'll reinstall the whole thing with FreeDOS anyway. :-) The Pocket386 only boots from the internal C: drive (a CF card). I thought I still had a CF card reader (can't find it) so I've ordered a new one. My plan is to image the CF card from Linux and make a copy, then use QEMU with that drive image to install FreeDOS, then write the image to the CF so I can boot the Pocket386 with it. I also ordered a PS/2 keyboard, because the built-in keyboard is too tiny to do real work on. It's 8 1/4 x 4 1/2 x 1 1/4 (inches). _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
