===============================================
Edited again:
Just wanted to bring this list up to date with a few recent aquisitions. Lately, my collecting seems to have narrowed down to a few niche-type portables. Mostly, Ive been grabbing up palm-tops, hand-helds, sub-notebooks, pen-enabled (tablet) machines, and ruggedized portables. I guess the ultimate one is the ruggedized, pen-based, handheld, like the Itronix 5200. Other recent additions include:
Itronix T-5000 (rugged, handheld, DOS 5 in ROM) - (1996)
Itronix XC-6000 (ruggedized touch screen '486/50) - (1997)
Itronix XC-6250 (same ruggedized chassis as the 6000, but in a Pentium 133MHz package) - (1999)
Zeos Pocket PC (sort of a Poqet clone, DOS 5 & MS Works in ROM) (1993)
Intermec/Norand Pen*Key 6620 (ruggedized, touch screen, AMD 5x86/133-based) (1999)
Gateway 2000 Handbook 4/25 (1993)
Epson EHT-400C (small, lightweight tablet, '486/50MHz) (1996) "Sonny"
Hitachi HPW-600ETM (WinCE-based tablet) (2000)
IBM ThinkPad 600 (1998)
Fujitsu 325 Point ('386-based tablet) (1992)
Ampro LittleBoard PC (NEC V-40 based, runs CP/M-80 natively) (1988)
NTS DreamWriter (weird, WinCE machine) (1999)
RealVoice for the Epson HX-20
Baby Heather (computerized doll) (1991)
Citadel (ruggedized, IR-based touch screen) (1998)
Zenith SuperSport (8088) (1987)
That covers recent additions, as best as I recall. None of the new machines have names yet, except for Heather, who came with one of her own, and Sonny (Son of Ep), the Epson tablet.
