Best laptop keyboard I ever used was on a Compaq SLT/386 I owned. Keyboard could be detached from the laptop (ok, today it would be considered a "luggable", but back then, it was a nice machine), and it had a coiled cord that plugged into the computer underneath where the keyboard sat. You could unplug it from the computer (it was a mini-din PS/2 style plug). The keyboard itself wasn't mechanical (not a buckling spring or similar system), but it did have full-travel keys and a nice feel for typing on. I got mine used and had to build a custom battery pack from old cell phone batteries, which made me have to remove 2 meg of RAM (to fit the larger custom battery pack), leaving me with 6 meg instead of 8. I had Caldera OpenDOS installed on it: http://www.deltasoft.com/opendos.htm http://www.deltasoft.com/opendos.htm http://esca.atomki.hu/paradise/dos/opendos-en.html http://esca.atomki.hu/paradise/dos/opendos-en.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DR-DOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DR-DOS ...with Monkey Linux installed on top of that (Monkey is a distro that used DOS for the underlying file system - you could even share data easily): http://projectdevolve.tripod.com/ http://projectdevolve.tripod.com/ (downloads don't work) http://www.ipt.ntnu.no/~knutb/linux486/download/monkey/monkeyli.html http://www.ipt.ntnu.no/~knutb/linux486/download/monkey/monke... I'm honestly not sure where or if you can still get a copy of that distro - I should look into it; maybe I should host my copy somewhere...
