- It's a C&T 8680 which is basicly a fast Intel 8086 (or NEC V30). It
- may have the extra 80286 real mode instructions like the V30. It is
- not in any way a 80286 compatible processor (no protected mode, no
- extended memory). MS-Windows will only run on it in real mode. No
- version of OS/2 will run on it. The use of the term "286-class" is
- really misleading, unfortunatly I see more and more companies using it
- to mean "speed of at least a slow 286 and nothing more". Still, the
- machine has good performance, better than other palmtops.

- >Suggested Retail: $1295
-
- Note that this is also the only price since Gateway 2000 gives no
- discounts and does all sales direct to the user.
