I've wondered about the possibility of squeezing the N810 into a 200LX clamshell, retaining the HP keyboard. That could be a very nice palmtop computer! Somebody could probably do it, but I am not that somebody. And as I get older and grumpier, I'm becoming less interested in spending time making my computers usable.
Hmmm... either of those would be killer, but I'm gonna have to go with the sawed-off Kaypro.

Seriously, wouldn't it be fun, a Kaypro with everything chopped about 6" behind the display, a slot-loading optical with a 5.25" floppy facade, and batteries for a 48-hour runtime? (And those lovely individual-switch keyboards. You know you could mod those, take keys off an old one, nibble out more room, and get extra keys... Not like the Pandora. Gaming controls, in the limited sense of an inverted-T cursor pad, were thus attainable.)

Really, the only problem with this is destroying a perfectly good Kaypro to build it.
