... that Informer released a portable computer terminal that also doubled as an IBM PC compatible? Source: "The company's 213PT is an 11-pound, AC-powered terminal that emulates a 3274 controller and connects to a mainframe via its built-in 9,600-bps V.32 modem, company officials said. ... Users can strike a key to instantly transform the computer from a 3270 terminal to a DOS-based PC that processes applications downloaded from a mainframe" (Grossman 1990).
