- Tadpole makes a SPARC based notebook called the SPARCbook. They only
- sell direct. It was reviewed in UNIX World December 1992 (or UNIX review). It
- can hold two 2.5" HDs or one HD and one FD. The test configuration of 32MB RAM
- and two HDs ran $19,995. It doesn't have a SCSI port, but the parallel can be
- used to add one. Look at the article for more information.
