If you want to _dial into_ these systems, no problem. Any terminal emululation
program will allow that. Be sure to get one with HP emulations as HPUX is
picky about non-HP emulations. If you want to _run_ these OS, I sugguest
you take your medication and go back to your room...

Look for RS/6000 Model 850 at http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/ in the hardware
sections. This is a PowerPC notebook running AIX.
You can also run Solaris/2.5 for x86 on nearly any Intel-PC notebook.

In this case, just forget HP.
Their notebooks are simply Intel-Based machines, the actual
revision of HP-UX (10.20) only runs on PA-RISC CPUs.
No emulation.
In spring, somebody working at HP told me, that they intend to
bring out a portable workstation, but i never heard of afterwards.
And, i think, it would be a little bit H(igh)P(riced)

There are mobile solaris (sparc & intel) and AIX (PPC) laptops.
The IBM offering, the Thinkpad 860 was recently discontinued and is on
discount. There may or may not be a replacement AIX laptop from IBM.
The 860 only had support under AIX 4.1.5. I tried a numer of times to
get 4.2.1 running but was unsuccessful.
BTW, if ANYONE out there has managed to get 4.2.1 running on their 860
laptop, I''d appreciate hearing EXACTLY step-by-step how you did it.
The Solaris laptops are available from a number of sources including
www.tadpole.com who also make Alpha based laptops.
Solaris/Intel will run on many of the better Intel laptops, but you have
to be careful that the laptop hardware is pretty 'PC-Generic' and
doesn't do anything 'fancy'.

It's currently $5600 from ibm direct, www.direct.ibm.com, with 32mb ram and
1gb disk, preloaded with aix4.1.5.

I was surprised to see an HP/UX (PA-RISC) notebook on RDI's web
site (www.rdi.com) along with their UltraSPARC notebook.

Does someone have a URL towards this unit? If it's significantly
discounted I'd be interested..

It's being discounted at the business partner (dealer) level.
Price reductions of up to 50% were in place on 10/6, but you've got to
convince a dealer to order you a unit.
They are available in the warehouse.

Are you trying to say that there doesn't exist such a beast or that the
ones that do exist are not worht the trouble/price ? Because someone
mentioned RDI (http://www.rdi.com/) and they seem to carry such
things.Not sure how good (or bad) they are though, so we'd really
appreciate the help here.
Thanx again.

I know that IBM had a laptop running AIX.
I think it's called N30.
The only problem is that it's working with a special version of AIX 3.x
I'm not sure they made a newer version of AIX for that notebook.

RDI makes laptops for both the Solaris and HP-UX environments.
They can be reached via http://www.rdi.com/.

SPARC laptops are available from RDI and Tadpole (www.rdi.com and
www.tadpole.com) RDI currently holds the "Sexiest Hardware" title with their
200mhz Ultra-I based laptop with a 14" screen. Their older Hypsersparc models
can be had for a (relative) song. For something more portable, with a higher
"kewl" factor, check out the Tadpoles. They have a killer magnesium case for the
models with the 10" screen, and the IBM-style pencil-eraser pointer thingy. They
currently top out with the 175mhz HyperSPARC.
RDI also offers a 175 mhz PA-RISC based HP laptop, with optional graphics
acceleration.
Tadpole has a 233mhz Alpha-based notebook that runs either VMS or Digital's
Unix. (Ultrix? DEC-UX? OSF/1? Who knows? Any rich Linux hackers wanna take a
stab at porting the video driver? Have I mentioned how awesome the Tadpole
magnesium case is?)
IBM makes Power-PC (133mhz 603e) based AIX notebooks.
I actually used Tadpoles (SPARCBook 3), and found them to be, if anything, a bit
more reliable than our desktops. Nice, bright 800x600 active matrix screen.
Abandon all hope of running for a reasonable amount of time off the batteries,
tho. It also requires a special build of Solaris (provided by Tadpole), and a
set of utilities for the notebook-centric stuff. I also dealt with a very old
RDI luggable, and found their tech support, even for obscure, obsolete models to
be excellent.

Tadpole makes a laptop that is compatible with sun solaris.

I believe in the November Byte, New Products section, there was a
mention/picture of a UNIX lap top.
