The Bondwell-2[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] is an early laptoppersonal computer running the CP/M operating system. Introduced by Bondwell in 1985, it came with a ZilogZ80 CPU clocked at 4 MHz, 64 kB RAM and 4 kB ROM. It had a 3.5" floppy disk drive, highly unusual for a CP/M system, as this OS was largely outmoded by the time 3.5" drives were introduced.
The Bondwell-2's main attraction was its price,[1] at 995 USD. It also included MicroPro's complete line of CP/M software, including WordStar. Also unusually for a CP/M system, the Bondwell-2 could display bitmapped graphics. The flip-up LCD display's resolution was 640x200 pixels, or 80x25 text characters. A 300 baudmodem was available as an option.
