Well my Toshiba Libretto will kick your HP100LX's butt.  Mine run's Winders
95/DOS 3.2 The Libretto is a bit larger but they both work just fine. I
think NEC also had something very similar but be careful that it's not a
Windows CE machine. Even if you find one of the 10 - 12 inch screen
notebooks they are not that large.

Do a search for Toshiba Libretto on EBAY and see what you can find. that
way. I found several including a 100CT and a 75CT. I do have an extra that
has had been speeded up a bit but it doesn't work out very well for the
PC1000. The processor chip get's a bit hotter than it should and shuts down
after about 3 or 4 hours. I'll throw it back on EBAY soon and will state
that it has been accelerated so everyone will know. . Also you need one of
the expansion ports so you can have the RS232 9-pin outlet.
