Poqet Pc

The Poqet Pc is a very small, portable IBM PC-XT compatible computer, introduced around 1989. It was the first palmtop-formfactor IBM PC.

There were three variants of the poqet, the "Prime", "Classic" and "Plus", where prime and classic are close to each other, and the plus being a little different: PCMCIA 2.0 (from pre-PCMCIA 1.0), TYPE II (from TYPE I), Proprietary NiCd battery[?] (from standard AA-batteries), bigger and heavier, transreflective display and more RAM.

It is quite comparable to hp95/100/200LX.
