My first DOS-PC was a Toshiba 1200HD Laptop, came with 1MB RAM and a 20MB hard-drive, also 4.77 80C86. I had the original with the non-backlit LCD screen. I upgraded it with a 1200 Baud Modem Card that also included another MB of RAM. The RAM beyond 640 was useless under DOS. But I used for RAM disks which made the unit pretty snappy. The CMOS battery allowed the RAM to stay active when shutdown (BRAM).
