Join me for a look at an interesting sub-notebook or palmtop PC from 1998/1999 – The Casio Cassiopeia FIVA 101.
It’s a full featured Windows 98 experience in a tiny package.
Around the similar size and weight of the well known Toshiba Libretto.

Hey! It has scaling! Windows logo on boot is at 320×200, but it shows it similar to MS DOS display size. That means it does integer scaling! When you can double the pixels, it will do it.
For many, this is exactly the ideal behavior of scaling on lcd. 😉
Edit: later dos software also shows integer scaling. They are 2x scaled.
I would Love to find a Small Pentium 90 or 486 100 like I used to carry around, but smaller like this.
I had a small P2 or 3 VIO years ago, but Its been lost to the trash over time
The Book 386 is cool, but so limited, this is a major upgrade lol
