Cambridge-based Tadpole Technology Ltd has added low-cost Sparcbook LC notebook models to its family of portables, and has cut prices up to 35% on the Sparcbook 1 line. The LC is aimed at users that need to work away from their desktop but still need to access their applications and want to get into the corporate network. It runs Solaris 1.0 and offers full MS-DOS emulation, with single-key switching between the two. The S1-LC model with 8Mb, 180Mb disk and gray scale display is $3,950, and the same configuration with colour thin-film transistor display costs $5,950; adding another 8Mb costs $950 and a floppy drive is $750.
