Sounds like you know something about this 701 machine...mind if
I ask a few questions? My brother is with IBM and with that "friends"
program, looks like I can get one inexpensively. Just want to make
sure of a couple things...
What's the battery life like? Can a new one be swapped-in
on the fly like with the 750's?
The Display--256 colors like you seem to mention (though you
put 256K, but I presume that's a typo) or 64K? Is the display viewable
outdoors or not? (The 750C I have is *terrible* outdoors--can't see
it worth a darn--I *really* want a machine I can work outside with!).
What ports are *on* the machine (as opposed to having to hook
up some extra doo-dad)? Serial, Parallel, Video, Mouse, & PCMCIA?
I presume the floppy drive, though external, is included in
the package? Is the AC Adapter a small little animal (i.e., a "travel"
adapter) too?
Many thanks for your help or anyone else's in advance...
