I have one of those too...one hauled it all the way to Minneapolis so I'd
have something to play with in the evenings while attending Cray training
for 5 weeks.  It's "portable" in the sense that it has a handle on it...

I have several versions of BASIC on it, as well as Turbo Pascal 1.0.

Mine also has an extra board in it that has an 8086 and 256K of RAM running
MS-DOS v1.0.  It uses the Z80 and CP/M system for I/O.
