Home > Zenith Minisport

The Zenith MiniSport (circa 1989) was a small laptop based on a 80C88 CMOS CPU running at 4.77MHz or 8MHz, software. It had one megabyte of battery-backed RAM, optionally expandable to two. It ran MS-DOS from ROM, had a 640x200 LCD display and CGA and composite monochrome outputs.

It had two unique features - a 2 inch floppy disk and built-in transfer software that could install itself on any other DOS computer over a serial cable without the need for any pre-existing software on the remote system. Called FastLynx, it relied on the user typing in a DOS Mode command on the other computer, which transferred control of that computer's command line to the Zenith over the serial line. The software then copied itself across, and the user could then move files. This to some extent compensated for the fact that no other computer ever used the 2 inch floppy system, and thus floppy transfers were out of the question.

The MiniSport is 12.5" wide x 9.8" deep x 1.29" tall (lid closed), 7.75" tall (lid open). It weighs 5.9lbs, with battery.
