I had (still have, actually) the next model up from this -- the Amstrad PPC/640. I got it specifically for the properly sized screen and full keyboard -- I hated the stretched screens of most portable PC's of that era. Weighed about 20 pounds with all 10 C batteries installed, but _portable!_
What an amazing project. How long did it take to be able to boot off of _different_ bare metals?
Thanks! Many long evenings with lots of coffee :) Longer than expected to be honest, but no regrets, it's been extremely satisfying
