Hyperion Portable Computer First MS-DOS portable

Also includes original User Guide amd Lotus 123.

This is a somewhat rare early computer. It is in fact cited as the first portable MS-DOS computer ever made, release a few months before the Compaq portable came out.

It is a really cool looking and designed computer. The keyboard snaps in underneath the front for storage, and there is a built in carrying handle, similar to what an early Macintosh has.

I have not powered it up. I will leave that to whomever purchases it.

Here is some info pn this beauty, cited from Wikipedia

=============================================

The Hyperion is an early portable computer that vied with the Compaq Portable to be the first portable IBM PC compatible. It was marketed by Infotech Cie of Ottawa, a subsidiary of Bytec Management Corp., who acquired the designer and manufacturer Dynalogic Corporation, in January 1983. In 1984, the design was licensed by Commodore International[1][2] in a move that was forecast as a "radical shift of position" and a signal that Commodore would soon dominate the PC compatible market. Despite computers being "hand-assembled from kits" provided by Bytec and displayed alongside the Commodore 900 at a German trade show as their forthcoming first portable computer,[3] it was never sold by Commodore[citation needed] and some analysts downplayed the pact.[4] The Hyperion was shipped in January 1983 at C$4995, two months ahead of the Compaq Portable.
