- The RoadRunner (sold to OEMs as the MicroOffice 100) was an early laptop computer designed by MicroOffice Systems Technology and introduced in 1983. Weighing roughly 5 pounds (2.3 kg) and featuring a battery able to power it for up to eight hours, the RoadRunner was one of the first clamshell notebook computers ever released. Instead of magnetic disks for fixed and removable storage, the RoadRunner relied on CMOS RAM and ROM cartridges for storing and loading data and software. The laptop was equipped with a CP/M-compatible operating system in its built-in ROM, as well as an address book and a scheduler that took advantage of the laptop's ability to keep time with its real-time clock. An external modem allowed it to communicate with a mainframe and wake-on-ring to submit data remotely and automatically. Primarily the brainchild of MicroOffice co-founder James P. Dunn, the RoadRunner was released in November 1983 to positive reception by computer journalists. It remained on the market until 1985 when MicroOffice was acquired. (en)
