Update:
I went to the local computer show(swap meet/flea market) and purchased a FIC Sahara 3810 Terminal for $60. It's TINY, 500Mhz Celery processor and I threw 384MB ram and a 20GB HD into it. I'm setting it up ATM. After it's set up I'll hide it off somewhere. It'll be a dedicated slave to the C128D as a HD and internet services. Stay tuned..
Oh yeah, I'm still going to tinker with a minimalist instal on one of these laptops when I get a chance..
