365ED Questions (LCD, vs 365XD, etc)

[<ecottrell@doble.com>]

     Hello,
     
     I recently got a sick 365ED (Needs a new LCD).  I have a few
     questions.
     
     1.  IBM does not seem to sell just the panels.  Is there a place that
         may have the Sharp LM64C35P I need?
     
     2.  How does the 100 MHz Cyrix 586 compare with a Pentium?  I am
         replacing a 33 MHz 486SLC and wonder if I should have gotten the
         low end 365XD with the Pentium instead.
     
     3.  Who do you like the 365ED.  I mainly need the Laptop for basic
         communications and to run Map software with voice output.
         Any experiences with OS/2 and Windows 95 operation would be
         appeciated.  I used a 750C in the past.
     
     4.  Can I only get the external Floppy from IBM?  It seems the
         connector is special and wonder if I could adapt an external
         floppy drive?
