I using what is sold by Leading Edge, and by many others as a
generic multimedia laptop.
Mine is Dual Scan, but it works on active matrix too.
8 MB
DX4/100 (I've used both the Intel and AMD parts)
Soudblaster 2.1 built in
Info Express 8390 based PCMCIA ethernet card (NE2000 compatible)
Cardinal 28.8 V.34/V.FC PCMCIA modem
However,
The sound section did not include FM synthesizer
"IC Card" Generic 8390 based PCMCIA ethernet card (NE2000 compatible)
worked a little, but regularly would stop working for no
apparent reason. The Info Express has worked flawlessly.
