hI RAY AND TERRY
although both answers show a good knowledge of dedicated computers, regretfully
only one answer can be  correct

The Fidelity Travel Master

Released in 1991, it quickly proved to be a commercial failure due to the fact
that it had  an unusually high defect rate
it seems the sensory board was to much electronics for a small hand held device
Fidelity even attempted to recall the unit soon after its release in return for
a credit against a different computer

for this reason there are very few WORKING Travel Master's in existance today

SCORE:CCC READERS...4/5

Traveling Regards
