This old laptop works like brand new. The battery even held a good charge the last time I used it a few years ago. It's an 80C88 running at 7.16 MHz (50% faster than the original IBM PC), with 640K RAM, an electroluminescent backlit monochrome 10.5" LCD with 640x200 CGA resolution, two 3.5" 720K floppy drives, and a very nice desktop-quality keyboard. A 20 MB hard drive and built-in modem were optional; mine has neither. I also demonstrate it using my Tandy CM-11 as an external color monitor.

Here is a very good web site with lots of photos and information on this laptop:

  • Dosent iy have a 2in floppy disk drive?

  • @crazydog99007 It was the Zenith MiniSport that used the special 2-inch floppy disks. The SuperSport uses regular 3½-inch floppy disks.

  • Web 1.0?

  • Had a Tandy 1000 EX with an 8088. I had used it very little and it was kept packed up over the years. It was in mint condition, and I could not bring myself to throw it away years later. Fortunately the local university took it in and it now it resides in a display case in its computer museum.

  • Nice collection of vintage hardware you have

  • SuperSport; Is it a Camaro?

  • Yes, those Tandy monitors were good quality, especially the CM-11 you have but it was expensive. I had a CM-4 that came packaged with my original Tandy 1000 I bought in '85. I still have a CM-5 and a Tandy 1000HX that I acquired later.

  • And now we have a world smallest laptop computer and desktop:)

  • The white thing looks like c4
