>From whaere I am sitting I can see : HP41(several), HP71B, HP75C, HP95LX, 
HP100LX, Epson HX20, Epson PX4, Epson PX8, HP110, HP110+, Amstrad PPC640, 
etc. All are classic computers, all have LCD displays. For that matter, I 
can also see an HP IntegralPC, which has a monochrome plasma display.


If, as I suspect, you're maing a cryptic comment that discussion of LCD 
monitors is off-topic, well, it is your list, but there have been 
sevearal comments about using them on classic machines including 
commodore micros.. if you want _that_ to be off-topic, then surely things 
like IDE interfaces for the Omnibus are off-topic (there were no IDE 
drives around when the PDP9/e came out), dittoe for almost all of my 
repair comments (I oftne suggest the use of logic analysers, digital 
multimeters, etc, which are not conteemporary with the machine being 
repaired).
