[SunRescue] IBM RS/6000 notebook?!?

[Mike Nicewonger]

Looks like a Tadpole to me. Just with IBM badges.

Tadpole/RDI built some very cool non-PC laptops. Sparc, PPC, Alpha, HP-PA
RISC. There was even an SGI laptop built for the making of "Twister" (I
really want one of those!!) Not sure who built the SGI box though, only ever
saw a picture of it once.

Cheers,

Mike N
