   Just picked up a really wierd old portable from a friend.  Been cleaning it up   
   and trying to reseach it.  It has no real branding on it so that's a bit of a   
   challenge.   
      
   No battery, an 80x25 folding LCD screen, internal hard drive, single 5.25 inch   
   floppy.  I'd say it's from '85 or '86.  I finally got to running the Landmark   
   benchtesting utility on it, to find it has an 80186 CPU!   
      
   A web search for 186 based portables, lead me to the Olimarck Top 25,   
   manufactured by International Quartz Ltd.  I think it was OEM'ed as a few   
   different things.   
      
   Anyway, it's not fast, but I've never had a 186 based computer before, and it's   
   super fun to play around with.   One of the screen hinges is cracked, and there   
   isn't enough material/clearance to epoxy it back together, so I'm going to have   
   to try and 3D print a new part at some point.
